  • HablaGuate
    The parts arrived earlier this week. It was a huge truckload, carrying dismembered buses and bus parts. Three engines came equipped with their yellow hoods and front wheels intact. From a distance, they looked like gigantic severed, crawfish heads. We shot a bit of the unloading and were happy to know that whatever our bus needed had finally arrived.
  • The Fate of Our Bus
    We also find out that our bus is going to drive for the Rutas Quetzal line, which goes from Ciudad Quetzal to Guatemala City and crosses through Mixco, one of the most dangerous parts of the area surrounding the capital. I don't know the capital city well at all, but I recognize Mixco from all the sensationalized news stories about bus drivers being killed by the MS-13. I feel slapped in the face by a huge reality-check. Damn.
  • La Camioneta, Quietly Into the Night
    We arrive to the shop at 8:00AM. All the transformation is going to take place today, but it seems like everyone knows what to do without having to discuss much. Rafael, Jose, Luis, Vinicio, Julio, Ludwig and Juan all seem to have developed their own niche by now. It was hard to believe how fast they worked – the luggage rack inside the bus was assembled and installed within one hour.
  • Surprises Along the Way
    The interview with the shop owner, Rudolfo, held a few surprises. First off, I was surprised to learn that he began working on buses when he was only 9 years old, and has been in some way involved in the bus industry ever since.
  • Hopping Off at the Second Stop
    I was given a pair of white gloves and a pristinely-organized tupperware container filled with small white envelopes. Each envelope was a small bundle of newspaper clippings, organized by subject and/or theme. Please tell me there wasn't someone that did all of this work overnight!
