Guatemala sources??

DMK · 09-26-2013, 05:32 PM

Long story short...
Looking to see if there is anything anyone can think of in Guatemala worth picking up.
My oldest daughter is going in a couple of weeks for a work related charity thing and I'm wondering what if anything would be available.
I've tried to look on line, but .....any help would be great.

Cigar related - not so much. Coffee? Si!

We have a saying in the world of Spanish speaking people about Guatemala.

De Guatemala a Guatapeor.

Let's see how that works out in English.
Mala = bad
Peor = worse

From Guate bad to Guate worse

Yeah, in thinking about it, had to be there.

So I guess coffee and maybe she can find some decent Rum.

They have Tamales wrapped in banana leaves and Pupusas.

That's about it

Quit reminding me. I always forget the name of the damn things(google-fu tells me tamales oaxaquenos, which sounds about right), but they're so good. My dad grew up eating them in Mexico City and we made it a point to find a shop that was selling them the last time we went down, some of the best tamales I've had.

cigars...I don't know about(hookers either)but Guatemala was my favorite country the 2 times I went to central America.

if she hasn't got a charity already lined up...proyecto ak tenamit...would be a worthy start.

tell her to leave guat city as soon as she can...I went east to Puerto barrios...on to Livingston...rio dulce to proyecto...on to city of rio dulce...had to fly to flores...tikal...and so on.

Antigua Guatemala is/was interesting also(of the 3 days I spent in guat city...one was spent in Antigua Guatemala).

I will reiterate...proyecto ak tenamit...a more than worthwhile charity.

She is going with a group of Ortho surgeons doing Diabetic foot care.
Her specialty is Orthotics and shoe building. Just finished her Masters

I believe they are keeping to the Guatemala City area.
