Sorry I didn't make a fancy slide show for this trip. I figured I'd post a few of my favorite/ the most meaningful pictures with descriptions of each. That way you can click on them to enlarge and ask questions if you have any!

Hello, i am Roger Espinoza.
I really enjoyed viewing your pictures becasue I have been to Guatemala 4 times. I was born in the neighboring country of Honduras and all your pictures are very familiar to me. The reason why I really enjoyed this pictures was because I have not gone back in 9 years, and seeing my kind of culture once again was really cool.
Hi Roger, glad you enjoyed the pictures! Central America is a beautiful place and very rich in culture. I hope we both get the opportunity to make it back there!
