The Guatemalan Dance Video
By Neil Ransom | May 14, 2007
Well here it is, our first attempt at a video. This video was taken at a festival in a small town outside of Xela, Guatemala about a week and a half ago.
I am trying to get more of the videos on our YouTube account, so be sure to check back often.
Mexico things are going well. We are currently having a few friends visit for a week and it is nice to have the company. I have been working hard to get the computer systems up and running in the compound but things go much slower in Mexico than the US. Much needed high speed Internet takes up to 10 days to install once the order has been placed. So by next week we should have it. Also to add a little more adventure to our stay, the compound’s water supply has been failing all weekend and we have had to go most of the weekend without water. Not that it is hard or anything, when I lived in Kenya it was much worse, but when it comes unexpected and you are unprepared, and you need to go to the bathroom, and there is not water to flush the toilets, then things get a little uncomfortable.
We love it here, though, and are enjoying every second. We will try to get more of our videos up on YouTube as soon as we get a fast internet connection (I will try and post one more tomorrow), so be sure to check back. Also we will get a commenting engine installed this week so if you’re struggling to find a place to leave a comment don’t fret, it is on its way.
P.S. our YouTube site is http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=kateandneildotcom

That might be the weirdest 12 second video I’ve ever seen. Whats with all of the mascots? I guess they aren’t considered mascots there…just strange strange people parading as animals I suppose. So funny.

What makes this video even better is that the dance is choreographed, and I know that inside each one of those animals are grown men and women.
