Life of a Gringo in Guatemala

Life in Jocotenango, Guatemala, a short bus ride from Antigua. I do not consider Antigua to be part of Guatemala. It is a walled gringo colony untouched by the unwashed Guatemalan culture. In Antigua "mugre" is a word and a concept. In Guatemala outside of the walls, "mugre" is a reality and the unwashed are the Guatemalan citizens. For 8 years I lived outside the walls. I now live in Chile, another planet.
