Refurbished Former US School Buses: The Pulse of a Nation

October 5, 2022July 11, 2023 Michael Green

The early morning Journey to Fuentes Georgina started from the Hotel Lar Antiqua beside the Parque Central. After a cool 20-minute power walk I was at La Rotonda and soon thereafter on a refurbished school bus bound for the town of Zunil. A

Mayan Time Travel at the Ruins of Zaculeu

September 17, 2022July 10, 2023 Michael Green

Unplanned until the evening before, I found myself wandering the grounds of the smaller than average, ancient Mayan site of Zaculeu, in Huehuetenango. Because Guatemala’s second biggest city of Quetzaltenango hosts a huge celebration for the country’s Independence Day, I was forced out

September 10, 2022July 10, 2023 Michael Green

Lake Atitlán is a magically wondrous body of water that Mayans have surrounded for millennia. The following anecdotes are based on the subjective and spontaneous choices I made while spending two plus weeks in naturally and culturally stunning Sololá, Guatemala. Thus, like much

Mayan Sounds on Lago Atitlán: Memory Enhancement Through Imagination

August 28, 2022July 6, 2023 Michael Green

If I travel to England or Ireland and look at the signs and names around me, I can often remember something without giving it much, if any thought. Because these are the same names or labels that I grew up with in Massachusetts.

Antigua, Guatemala to Panajachel on Local Refurbished School Bus Transport

August 22, 2022July 6, 2023 Michael Green

Taking local transportation from Antigua, Guatemala to Panajachel on Lake Atitlán is a whole different world compared to the user-friendly tourist shuttle bus. Howbeit, I was determined to get there the same way the Guatemalan people do. I did not allow myself the

August 13, 2022July 2, 2023 Michael Green

After learning about Skyscanner’s ‘Everywhere’ function, I had to give it a try. So I typed in FROM: ‘Orlando’ and in the ‘TO’ field I pressed the left mouse button. A blue box saying: ‘Can’t decide where? Click here to search Everywhere’ came

End of the World – The Last Foreign Vagabond

July 29, 2022July 2, 2023 Michael Green

I had made it all the way from Antioquia, to Putumayo; which led me to the Fin-del-Mundo or End-of-the-World waterfall in Mocoa.  Near there, smack, dab in the jungle, I was able to stay at the Posada Fin del Mundo, where I felt

An Earth Drifting Destination

June 27, 2022July 1, 2023 Michael Green

I find myself back on the US east coast thinking about an earth drifting destination. Here, costs could be too high to sustain for elongated time, without engaging in a potential work-a-lot-for-a-little scenario. A situation could entail a lot of toiling, while allowing
