Guatemala - Photo Tour Of Mi Amigos!

So as you may all know, I was in Guatemala from the 5th until the 16th. It was for a plant pathology class that was combined with an agronomy class from University of San Carlos de Guatemala. There were 12 students from Madison and 10 guys from USAC. Each of us was partnered up with someone from USAC; I was partnered with Hugo Ferres. We got along pretty well; it was kind of hard to communicate because I didn't know Spanish and he had fairly good English. The other guys names were: Oliver, Jose, Jorge, Pablo, Eduardo, Camilo, Nimrod, Carlos, y Joel. They were some of the most chivalrous men I have ever met. They would help you off the bus (huge last step), hold doors for you, always let the ladies for first (especially when it came to food), let me have the shade, everything. Don't get me wrong, they were a lot of fun too - joking, laughing, hanging out, showing us around, and always all smiles. I really miss them...I'd do anything to go back to Guatemala and see each of them again, especially Joel. He was my best bud :(  I'll post some photos of me and the boys for this post. Trust me, there will be more posts soon to fill everyone in!

 So above are a few photos of my boys. There are tons of photos on Facebook - feel free to check them out. For our grade, we have to make a video of our trip to send to CALS at UW-Madison. CALS gave us a huge grant to help pay for our trip (that's why it was ridiculously cheap for me). CALS specializes in undergraduate experiences - that's me! So in this video, I'm going to be featured. There are tons of photos of me looking studious and taking notes. I look good :)  I still miss my boys so much! I wish I could run back there and get a group hug :(  At least I will see them again :)
