    The same story must be told to all the children Investigate what everybody knows…or add to what everybody knows.

    Old Soul – Coffee Recipes for the mastery of routine problems. 43 If a large part of the social stock of knowledge consists of recipes for the mastery of routine problems and one sector of the population for all intensive purposes does not have access to the gateway to most knowledge, what happens?

    The run this morning was a struggle and a bit lonely so I was happy to see my wife coming from the house to join me. I smiled and waived as she approached and then I noticed the lack of shoes. My eyes quickly jumped from her bare feet to her face. I don’t remember […]

    Entrepreneurship in Sac (Mark Otero)

    by
    Last night I went to the SEA Spring Showcase to listen to Mark Otero’s story. I’ve followed him somewhat over the last year or two. Not stalker like follow but I always take notice when I see or hear his name. Stories like his are unfortunately not common in Sacramento. He built KlickNation, a video game company in the county […]

    I’m trying to use a suggestion from one of my text books and suspend judgement about everything I think I know and feel for the moment. Getting through comps is hard enough without the internal distraction of the noise in my head. I think suspending judgement and presencing as Senge suggests is akin to Buddhist […]

    DIY Arcade

    by
    I am absolutely fascinated by the DIY arcade found in Guate and I wonder if I could recreate it here in the land where everyone supposedly has access to computers and advanced consoles. My neighborhood isn’t one of those burb matrixes with miles of franchises. My neighbors have an open air store which moves from […]

    I’m sitting in Mexico city airport by Wings restaurant partaking of the free wifi. Did you know they don’t really have Mexican food in Mexico? It’s all this stuff I’ve never heard of. What a fool I’ve been believing that the tacaria was the real deal. Of course it could just be the airport is […]

    13 is a lucky Mayan number. At least that’s what I think the guide said at Tikal. I wore thirteen when I played soccer in high school and I spent a lot of time benched or injured but it still felt awesome each time I put on that jersey. I felt dangerous. The all night […]

    12 maybe

    Guatemala city has Taco Bells that look like 23rd century discotecas. I’m on a two story bus headed for Flores. We met a lovely woman on the shuttle who seems like a force of nature. I believe she’s from Argentina but is currently living in Sebastople and stated whole heatedly that Kate must be deeply ...

    Guate sure knows how to rain. The air does warn you a bit before but you better heed it because the sky opens up and cries like a 15 year old with a broken heart. I’m in Antigua curtesy of a $30 usd mini shuttle. It was full of Americans and Canadians. One vagabond who ...

    Tuesday what on earth happened? I studied todo el dia. Lame as lame can be. Comps are coming up in two weeks or less. We had a beautiful rain in the evening and lost power for a bit. We watched the movie Los Ninos Invisibles. I found a place to stay in Antigua off AirBnB ...

    I posted a few pics from yesterday but they don’t do the day justice. Many micro buses and chicken buses were necessary to make it to Chichicastenango and back again. Micro buses are the size of minivans but as I learned you can fit more than 28 people on board if you use the inside ...

    Last night I actually attended a student activity and spoke with other students. I was really happy to have an excuse to miss dinner at the casa. The family is lovely but there is only so much typical guatemalteca fair that I can take. Fried bananas are not my favorite and I can do without ...

    After class I walked all over la ciudad. Today is a day of protest for the university students and most are participating in a parade with hoods that cover their faces and their majors embroidered on the side. They look like clan masks and a magazine i found in English said that the masks are ...

    Tres

    by
    I’m feeling better today and a bit more adventurous than before. The lack of security is a bit unnerving but there are many good people here and the colonial architecture meshed with the most amazing street art is something to behold. Today I think I spent more time asking my maestra questions in pigeon Spanish ...

    Xela has some amazing street art. I wish I felt safe enough to use my IPhone to take some pics. Early mornings seem like the best opportunity for this however breakfast is at seven thirty and class goes until 2. If I do not eat with my host family meals cost between 20-30 quatzales! This ...

    Dia UNO

    by
    Xela is definitely an interesting place. The streets have a strong petroleum scent and the buildings have a charm that I’m told you can’t find in cities like Antigua that are curated for tourists. I was fortunate enough to glom on to a woman named Charlotte from Denmark for the 20 minute trek from the ...

    Hostel room in Guatemala City

    by
    I survived the 10 hour layover at Mexico City Airport which was extremely clean compared to some of the US airports I’ve been in. It seemed like a cleaning person was assigned to every 20 sq ft. This one Señora patrolled her area of the food court like a hawk. I has this scrap of ...

    One is the loneliest number

    by
    I’m obviously not used to being alone. Even with the longest layover ever instead of venturing out into Mexico City I have slept on some concrete steps for the last four hours shivering like an abandoned chihuahua. I’m currently paying too much for lunch in exchange fore a bit of Internet. I really wish my ...
