Links from our Guatemala Trip

I did quite a bit of writing about our Guatemala trip, and have gathered the links all together here. The first three are classic travel writing, then three with a specific focus on environmental and social change–including our encounter with Guatemala’s President, Alvaro Colom.

Then Dina’s three blogs on our trip, and then two sets of photos. Enjoy, and feel free to comment here (most of the links go to places without comment fields but this page has them).

Encounter with Guatemala’s President

My wife Dina Friedman’s three blog entires on our trip (with photos by me)–when you’re done reading the first one, get the next ones by clicking “vacations2” on the upper right, and then of course “vacations3”

I wrote two other stories from this trip, on Pacaya volcano and Xela/nearby–but those I’m going to try to sell. You can see pictures, though:
