I am a big fan of this saying up top, "Cada cabeza es un mundo", which translates literally to "Every mind is a world" but more along the lines of Every mind is a universe unto itself. At any rate, that is how I feel right now about how I interact with people in a nutshell. Every interaction, every gusto (taste, like), every form of communication, every opinion can be qualified by the simple fact that every person is a unique individual in the world.
How's that for a nice big generalized and vague statement?
At any rate, I am hoping and anticipating that I will be doing some good blogging when I am actually in the states, from Dec 22nd until Jan 3rd, when I have a chance to digest and/or chew and spit out some of the cultural and personal observations that have been sitting on the backburner of my brain for a while.
In the meantime, I will say that I have been incredibly tired lately. And I have been away from my home in Xela for long periods of time. The past two weeks were filled with: 1, being a guide/translator for two families that came down to help build a house with Habitat near Lago Atitlan, and 2, the 5 day celebration of the 25,000th Habitat house built in Guatemala that was commemorated by a blitz build of 25 houses in 4 days in Zacapa, one of the hottest parts of the country. Oh my.
Tomorrow I leave Xela again to travel for work for a week. How the time flies!
