4th of July (and, I`m back!)

Working for a government organization such as the Peace Corps means that you celebrate the 4th of July in style. This year, Peace Corps Guatemala hosted a 2 day All Volunteer Conference leading up to Independence Day, in which they invited leaders from interesting fields, former Peace Corps Volunteers, and others to come and talk to us about our post-Peace Corps lives. Then on the actual 4th of July we had a giant party complete with an American barbeque, DJ and dancing, Soccer game (in which the Ambassador played- the man is good), basketball tournament and talent show.

Side note: those rockin yellow shirts that you see me and David (in the background) sporting are our offical Huehuetenango t-shirts! Though we were knocked out first in the basketball tournament we were for sure the brightest at the party!
