Guatemala!

So, after a very tumultuous year my employers finally decided that the PhD students would be happiest if given the freedom to choose their own fieldwork sites. Imagine that! (after all, we're not in the military. Or are we?)

Anyway, thankfully the shitshow that was the fieldwork issue has subsided. My choice, you ask? Guatemala, August 25th ETA. I am thrilled and can't wait to get there.

La Antigua (where I'll be August through December)



The volcano "El Fuego" towering over Antigua. Scary/cool!



Pyramid in Tikal, Yucatan
