Reflection 4

Preface to current Ridge Haven MOIs: I had a dirty blonde stache in honor of stache week all this week. Magic Max lives on in Central America!

Everybody else, sorry for that inside joke.

Update on Med School applications: I got UNC´s secondary application today. I also just filled out Wake Forest´s secondary application. Anyone know how to get a $55 money order in Guatemala?

Today´s main event was a soccer game between Antigua and a Guatemala City team named the Comunicaciones. Antigua fell, 4-2. A blocked PK did them in. But the real entertainment came from the borachos (drunks) who were sitting right beside us at midfield. One of them threw up so much it was reminiscent of Central Park´s fountain, one yelled, danced, sang, chanted, and beat a drum the ENTIRE time, and one kept having to urinate... directly onto the field at midfield. With thousands of fans and no one doing anything but throw beer cans at him. He also faceplanted directly into the other boracho´s vomit. Sorry if that´s gross. Todo es verdad. It was funny to me in a sad kinda way. Like a lot of other stuff that happens, like high-schooler fistfights.
I also learned how to make chiles rellenos from my house mom, Ana Luisa.
Anyways, tomorrow I´m off to Copan, rumored to be the most well-preserved Mayan ruin.

Sorry all, Story 4 is gonna have to wait a few days... I´ll give it a lot of thought in the 12 hours I´m in the van. It´s 11:33 here and I´m beat. Buenos.
