Sir, with respect, if you don't do everything you can to get this beautiful woman (with the smile of God's light) to marry you, I am afraid you will always have a pool of regret in your soul. Also, great video.

It's no wonder that so many people from Guatemala have immigrated to the US over the years. Thirty years of war! The country is beautiful. What is the volcano we saw called?

Very interesting video! I’m going to quibble about showing Truman’s photo in relationship to the US involvement in overthrowing the Guatemalan government in 1954. My understanding is that the Truman administration withdrew US support for a coup when the plan was discovered by the public, and under Truman the US State Department was opposed to using clandestine methods in Guatemala. Eisenhower and especially the Dulles brothers were the main culprits in involving the US the 1954 coup and the decades of repressive government that followed. But, your video was great!
