I’ve arrived safe and sound in Guatemala and without a single sign of travelers diarrhea. Needless to say, it’s been a success. I’ve already been stirring up lots of trouble with my Argentine accent and Jew face. Everyone seems to get a hardy chuckle when they hear me speak spanish with my Argentine quirks, but that’s just the way I was raised!
Not only can I not escape my Porteño accent, I can’t seem to escape my Jewiness. A friend of the non-profit asked me what my last name was, I told him it was Gardner. About a half an hour later, he confessed “The real reason I asked you your last name is because I thought you were Jewish, you know because of the nose…” Is it that obvious! Did I work at the JCC for too long that they can still smell the stench of the old Jewish people on my breath??
I’ll be doing some video blogging (vlogging) for The Equilibrium Fund which you can check out on their facebook page. Check out my introduction below…
