Utila Sunset

Vistas de las Islas

I got back from my vacation to the Bay Islands at the beginning of the week, and now I am back in the groove here in Tactic. I will make a post about the trip sometime in the near future, but until then here are some pictures…

La Isla de...

Mini Court

This is Purulhá’s basketball court. I think whoever was in charge of painting the lines took the general idea of what a court should look like and then just improvised. The 3-point line was at the distance of where the free throw line should be (on the right hand side), and the lane was located as such that the hoop was about ¾ of the way to one side. It made for an interesting game, which we won, by the way.

Awards Ceremony

After the finals of the men’s and women’s basketball leagues and the youth and men’s soccer leagues, the Muni put on an awards ceremony. I was the official photographer for the event “representing ESPN 2.”

The trophies.

New Year's Party

These are some pictures of some my basketball teammates and their families from the cookout at my house.

Vacaciones

Since I stayed in Guatemala for Christmas and New Year’s, I am taking a little vacation now instead. I am headed out for the island of Utila in the Bay Islands chain of Honduras. Kelly and Mosiah will once again be my travel companions for this trip. Some of their friends are flying in from the states, and we have rented a gorgeous beach house for a week to celebrate Mosiah’s 30th birthday. I am looking forward to soaking up the sun on the beach, swimming, fishing, scuba diving, and playing marathon games of scrabble and cards.

I’ll start back up writing when I return from our tropical paradise, but I’ll be posting some pictures in the meantime. Hasta luego.
