Introduction

This blog will follow me through my travels and experiences working at a clinic in Quetzaltenango (Xela), Guatemala. The clinic sees primarily indigenous (Mayan) patients in a rural mountain community. More than half of the patients are children, and the clinic is expanding its population even more to include more adults. Much of my struggles actually come from the rather universal theme of being a new healthcare provider, in my case, a new nurse practitioner. I'll also try to post plenty of travel stories to keep people entertained, and share some more cheerful stories. I apologize if there's an overkill of clinic stories. Sometimes it helps to tell the stories, even if only for my own sake.

More Cemetery Photos


After the big Day of the Dead celebration, I went back to the cemetery with Jean, when she came to visit. We went closer to dark, and things got a little creepy, but there was still plenty to see, and even more kites flying.

We were also able to find the Jewish part of the cemetery.
