Hello everyone. I'm expanding outside of Guatemala a little today. Just got back from the annual Edgewood College School of Nursing Tee Up for Nursing golf outing/fundraiser. Had a wonderful time at Nakoma Golf Club on the west side of Madison. I was greeting people on the 17th tee and trying to get people to bid on a Kohl Center suite for a UW women's basketball game provided by US Bank. It was a beautiful day for golf, I only wished I could have played. A big thank you to all who participated, and a special thanks to my fellow nursing students who volunteered at the event. I hope and trust it did well for the school, and that everyone had a good time.
I promise to write more later. I will probably expand the blog into other topics (still school and nursing related) and not just Guatemala stuff, although I will still have some of that mixed in as we start to do presentations and other things around campus and the Madison area.

Hi Nathan,
Sandy sent me your blog to read since I also went to Guatemala for seven weeks this January-March. I wish I could have been involved with volunteer work, but maybe next visit. I met many volunteers during my visit.
Spent 4 weeks in a Spanish immersion program in Quetzaltenango (Western highlands) going to school and living with a family. Intense is the best description.
Then I spent 3 weeks traveling throughout Guatemala: 10 days staying around Lago de Atitlan, hiking through the mountains and climbing volcanoes, 5 days in Antigua including a beautiful Lenten processional display.
If interested, you can read my blog (scroll down a lot until you reach the start) at whammer.livejournal.com which also provides links to my photos.
Thanks for keeping and sharing your experiences.
