Links from our Guatemala Trip

Filed under: Ethics-International, People Helping People, Shel's Personal Life, Social and Economic Justice — Shel Horowitz, Ethical Marketing Expert @ 4:26 am

I did quite a bit of writing about our Guatemala trip, and have gathered the links all together here. The first three are classic travel writing, then three with a specific focus on environmental and social change–including our encounter with Guatemala’s President, Alvaro Colom.

Then Dina’s three blogs on our trip, and then two sets of photos. Enjoy, and feel free to comment here (most of the links go to places without comment fields but this page has them).

Antigua, Guatemala: Colonial Elegance and Lots to Do

Haight-Ashbury in the Guatemalan Mountains: San Pedro and Lake Atitlán

Guatemala City: Where Are The Crowds?

Touring an organic macadamia farm run by a self-described “eco-guerrilla”

Social Responsibility in Guatemala (subject of my weekly blog on FastCompany.com)

Encounter with Guatemala’s President

My wife Dina Friedman’s three blog entires on our trip (with photos by me)–when you’re done reading the first one, get the next ones by clicking “vacations2″ on the upper right, and then of course “vacations3″

I wrote two other stories from this trip, on Pacaya volcano and Xela/nearby–but those I’m going to try to sell. You can see pictures, though:

From the first half of our trip, Antigua and the Lake Atitlán

Second half: Xela (Quetzaltenango) and nearby Momostenango, Fuentes Georginas, and Zunil…jade workshop and museum in Antigua…Guatemala City and the President
