GUATEMALA VIDEOS!!



Here I am taking off to paraglide over Lake Atitlan. As you can see its pretty hard running while pulling a huge parachute behind you and your instructor strapped to your back!



And this is what it looked like from my view. This particular video is of Cory taking off.



Here's Cory and I playing soccer with the kids.

GUATEMALA PICS UPDATED



So here's some pics I promised to post of my trip to Guatemala up above. I'll post more as soon as I download the rest though so keep checking.

Its amazing how much we got to see and experience in just 11 days there all thanks to Jake the Snakes exausting yet absolutely fulfilling tour guiding. We experienced and learned so much especially about the wide spread poverty Guatemala experiences. Yet I've never met such kind and genuinely happy people who make you realize how petty and small our problems here really are.

From paragliding off a cliff over looking lake Atitlan, visiting and spending the night in a remote village without electricity, seeing the ancient Mayan ruins of Tikal, flipping on my head while mountain biking, having one of the most interesting conversations with an Israeli, a South African, and a dutchmen, to getting sick to my bones in Semuc Champey, this was definitely the most eye opening and fullfilling trip I've had by far.

Anyways, so much to tell which would be impossible on here. Hopefully I'll be able to speak to whomever is reading this in person someday.
