Last Days in Guatemala

Guatemala is now several months in the rearview mirror, which has given me plenty of time to reflect and reminisce.  Our tour ended up being shortened by over seven months of cancer treatment to start and an early departure of ten weeks to accommodate Vietnamese language training and home leave.  By the end, we spent only 14 of the 24 months we were originally assigned to the country physically in Guatemala.  That left us with plenty of missed tourism opportunities, but we feel like we saw enough of the country to say that we got a full Guatemalan experience. 

The Guatemalan Craft Beer Scene

You would be forgiven for thinking that Guatemala isn’t exactly a craft beer destination.  I certainly didn’t expect much.  After arriving, I did what I always do when I move to a new place: I worked my way through the local beer selection.  I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of craft options.  Even the national mass-produced lager was solid.
