Welcome to our first episode! Today we relive the experiences of our host while we take a quick tour of some of the charms of the historical and beautiful town of Antigua. We'll talk about that famous yellow arch you see in anything and everything to do with Guatemala, accessibility, some of the things that have destroyed or almost destroyed the city and more!
After the show notes:
I feel like I need to clarify something that I said in this episode, specifically for the "gotcha" people- I’m not exactly sure what the specific requirements are for something to be labeled a machine gun. If you really, really want to, you can get an automatic weapon legally in a lot of states the US, pending certain conditions, of course. This is a completely different thing than your concealed permit or license- that you can get in some states, can’t get in others, and don’t even need in others. This is a different beast. You have to deal with the ATF, there’s the F1 app, time & money, tax stamp, more time & money, the weapon, the ammo, more time & money, your F4 app, more time & money… and there’s still a limit on the number of rounds you can legally fire. I don’t want to misrepresent the facts. If it’s something that you are interested in, there are lots of really great resources. That just isn’t something that I have personal experience with so if I mislabeled something in the episode, it wasn’t intentional. I promise. PR

I am so happy that you are here; thank you.
So, why start a podcast to tell the world about all of the mistakes and stupid things you've done in the past few years? For starters, some of it's just downright hilarious. Also, you make mistakes, and you learn, right? Well, I have had plenty of opportunities for growth. Possibly most importantly, this experience has been life-changing for me, and for my family, and in different ways.
I have gained perspective and understand so much more of another peoples' experience. I've witnessed poverty that I never could have imagined but have also seen incredibly small efforts make the difference between life and death. I have stepped out of my comfort zone and done things I didn't know I was capable of doing. :)
I have a renewed appreciation for the American Constitution. I have been affected by government corruption so much that it has changed the course of our lives. I have been detained by the police and military for almost two hours at a regular checkpoint and had an officer take my phone from me. It was a little scary that day but turned out fine. That story is definitely discussed on the show. I've had to pretend that I don't understand any Spanish in order to stay out of trouble, just like the stereotype in the movies. :)
I think that you'll find this podcast a bit different from the others. Tourists and locals always visit and talk about Antigua, Tikal, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala City and a handful of other places, and those places are beautiful and fantastic! There is so very much more outside of that though! There are beautiful and amazing things in Guatemala and there are dangerous and absurd things too.
My goal is to inform and entertain you with some of the things that we have experienced and witnessed. Also, I share real real life... If you are the person who can relate to hiding in their bathroom / office / garage with a glass of special grape juice or an ice-cold drink just to have ten minutes of peace and quiet, not being able to remember if you took your ADHD meds, wanting to travel and explore but also kind of wanting to stay home, trying to resist the urge to blurt out sarcastic responses or song lyrics (or know that person), this just might be perfect for you. :)
I hope you'll join me for the adventure, even if it's a bit unvarnished. The stories are real; some names are changed for privacy &/or safety.
