Uca reunion plus 1

Scotty told a joke right before the picture was taken

29 de Julio

So today we can’t really walk. I’m sure if we held a bucket out while we hobbled down the street, people would pity us enough to fill it. I haven’t mentioned the fresh squeezed homemade juices that are prepared for us every morning by Magda. I feel like a king. And it’s never been the same kind of juice. So far we’ve had orange. Hibiscus, pineapple, and others which names I have forgotten. After checking our email this morning, we discovered that we had American friends in our very midst. We immediately set out to find Andrew’s school mates Kyla Humbert and Scott Guthrie. It took only a few minutes before we found Kyla. We spent the day showing her the sights and around 3:00, I heard my name in the street. I almost didn’t turn around because I haven’t heard my name in English in so long. But I did and it was Scotty. We set a time and place to meet for dinner, the 4 of us, and split. It was a great time catching up over fine Italian cuisine. We laughed and contemplated and used our Spanish every now and again. It makes you appreciate how small the world is when you see a familiar face in a foreign country. Before we departed, we nagged a picture of rare history. Never has there been 3 generations of Student Dean/head RAs together in Panajachel, Guatemala until tis very night. The word for today is “comestibles.” This word means “groceries.”
