As we prepare to leave for Cameroon and are looking forward to our new home, there are many things we miss about Guatemala.
Here are a few of them:
Friends.
The beautiful, elaborate embroidery the Mayan people have on their traditional dress.
Traditional thick corn tortillas hot off the fire.
Avocados, which we ate almost everyday, for 12 to 25 cents a piece.
Beans and rice, which we eat here, as well, but not with the frequency as in Guatemala.
Mangoes -- large and luscious.
Paca -- the enjoyable pastime where you can look through piles of used clothing form the States and buy almost anything for 40 to 60 cents.
Lake Atitlan -- volcanic in origin, filling an enormous caldera.
The beautiful temperate weather, but also the rainy season with cool, refreshing rain.
Majestic San Pedro volcano, which we could see from our window.
