Antigua at Sunset
Hard to believe that it's already  my last dat at Familias! I think I may have avoided writing this week to ignore this reality. Just like most endings, I feel bittersweet about it. For most of the week, I've been telling myself that I was sad, and for a whileI was, but then I felt like I was ready to go home. Now, I'm getting sad again, the sort of nostalgic feeling I get anytime something good is coming to an end, so I guess that's a sign that I really enjoyed my time here. Sometimes I wasn't sure if I did or not, but this sentiment is reassuring. Although I will miss Familias de Esperanza and my job, I think I will miss the other aspects of Guatemala much more. My job itself was never the highlight, but rather the people I interacted with while doing my job. And so, in no particular order,  some of the things I will miss about Guatemala:

    This blog contains excerpts from my journal that I kept while in Guatemala. It details some of my memorable experiences from the summer and tries to illustrate some of the culture shock that I experienced, along with detailing the Guatemalan culture from an outsider's perspective.
