- In March I was together with Dani, Mario and Kelly, giving a 5-day "theater and HIV-AIDS-sexuality" training to ak'tenamit young educators in the municipality
of livingston, mayan quekch'i ethnic and linguistic area of rio dulce...

- The last weekend of April, I decide it's about time to continue travelling around. I have rested enough (even with good company!) but
what I most desire in my plush life is to travel, to learn, to experience... in a nutshell, to grow spiritually... not only geographically, but
on top of everything else, with experiences and meeting interesting people.
I just met a guy that looks like one of these characters with which it's worth travelling. Someone who likes enjoying life and that I'm sure will take care
of me even during bad times. His name is Cristián Palacios and he is a puppeteer, flamenco dancer and journalist... a good mix that guarantees
interesting experiences! He is travelling south, going back to his native Chile from Mexico at the very slow pace dictated by the experiences he encounters,
living with what he earns together with his puppet Antonio, "el Buitre". They are going to El Salvador where he has a friend that works with young "mareros".
And I have the secret dream to get into his show, make friends with Antonio el Buitre and maybe perform with him in bars and restaurants all over America.
Well, time will tell...

I want to leave in Guatemala very special greetings for Vinci and Dani, it was a pleasure to live a relaxed life for a while, and since they have been a bit
lazy with the camera, I also had the opportunity to rest a bit from the website.
Also to Vitosh, Mario, Kelly, Tony, to my flat mates at "the 15": Pablo, Fredy, Beerd, Stef, Wilson,
to my dear clowns (I would have loved to participate in your show, caramba!), to the flonder: Manue and Stef, Elliot and Leo, Ana, Victor,
to the people at ak'tenamit, to Jose and Ileana, Iria, Emi, Anastasia and Yago and to all the persons I had the luck to meet during my stay...
I had a really good time in Guatemala and I hope to come back and meet you again!
Good luck and ...se me cuidan un montón!
Aki
