Peace Corps in Guatemala in the 1970s - that must have been quite the experience. I can certainly see how incredible it would have been to have digital photography back then. Have you been back to Guatemala over the years since your service? I imagine so much has changed, but there's still a core to the people and country that is the same. I was a PCV in Estonia from 1998-2000. Not quite the same level of hardship (unless you count the brutal, dark winters) as most Peace Corps assignments. But, it's still incredible for me to see how the country has changed so much since I left. This journey and adventure is fulfilling for us and we hope our stories may insire others to engage and learn more about the world...and perhaps travel as well. @Jim: Thanks so much for saying hello and leaving a comment.

I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Guatemala in the late 70's. I sure wish digital photography had existed back then. Fortunately, I got to travel quite a bit, up to 2008, and I can imagine how fulfilling this adventure is for you two. Best wishes to you both.
