As I think back on my trip, I’m filled with gratitude for the people I’ve encountered, learned from, and befriended. I want to thank Dr. Runggaldier and her husband for sharing their unparalleled amounts of knowledge, Milady for her incessant kindness and unwavering leadership, my class for their company, my host family for their patience with my intermediate Spanish, and all the Mayan people I talked to for their openness in allowing me to understand their culture and traditions.
