Reviews, Recipes, and Random Slices of Life

Parts of Guatemala between where I work and where I live are like that. It's kind of surreal passing through in different parts of the year, where there are either cacti surrounded by skeletal trees (like something out of a spaguetti Western, but not quite) or vibrant green shrubs and trees whose leaves almost completely cover the cacti. But most of the rest of the country just fluctuates between wetter and drier, hotter and cooler.
