December always reminds me of the time I spent in Guatemala City. A unique city built in zones and full of contrast - a mix of modern and historic structures and a mix of wealthy and poor. It really reminded me of Los Angeles, California.
I was in Guatemala because the women's softball team I was playing on was competing against the Guatemalan National Team. Just like in Russia
(United by Food) the two teams bonded on and off the field with food and fun.

| A Guatemala National Team member teaches the Americans the basics of a Guatemalan dance. |
 |
| Lynette and Ingrid enjoying the fried chicken. |
 |
| Oh, yeah, Pizza Hut is also in Guatemala City. |
My travels have verified my belief that no matter where in the world we happen to be and no matter who we happen to meet everyone can come together enjoying a bit of healthy competition, food, and dancing and develop awesome friendships.
