The typical Guatemalan camioneta (public transit bus or chicken bus for those who like the colourful derogatory term) is based on an old looking Blue Bird school bus. How the Blue Bird insignia became a Green Quetzal beats me. But I guess this sort of transfiguration is what makes the Guatemalan idiosyncrasy; don’t you think so?
Rudy, I discovered your blog as soon as I returned from a too-short 4 day trip to Guatemala in May 2006. Through your camera lens, you've taught me so much about the place that I fell in love with so quickly. I especially appreciate when you write your thoughts, observations, opinions, and give information about your subjects. You've given me true affection for the marimba through the music you've posted, & you've taken me on virtual trips back to La Antigua Guatemala through your videos and sound clips. You've challenged my ideas about Guatemala, and surprised me with the breadth of culture in your little city. Your blog is like a little vacation every day. Thank you so much for the years of absolute pleasure. You never disappoint; this is a big accomplishment! Congratulations, and please don't stop. —Janna
