Guatemala #1

OK, I'm going to try to do a post on my Guatemala trip everyday this week. Each post will focus on an especially poignant picture. This first one is from the finca (farm) we stayed at. They pick cardamom and coffee. All the children are educated in an on-site school and a lot of the boys have American clothing. I tried to tell one boy that the "NY" on his hat represented New York, a very big city. However, their first language is Q'eqchi, the name of their Mayan group (it's one of the country's 22 indigenous groups). Here, Kyle, who doesn't even speak Spanish, tries to explain to a boy, through gesticulation and enthusiasm, the significance of Chuck Norris in American culture.
