I am originally from Guatemala, born and raised :)
I thank my country and its culture for inspiring me artistically, from the diversity in its terrain, to its multicultural people. There is color everywhere and Guatemala is said to be "the land of eternal Spring," (which is totally true, its pretty much 70 degree weather there all year long).
So here is some information that I have gathered via internet resources on Guatemala to help you become a little bit more familiar with my country.
Located under Mexico and next to El Salvador and Honduras in Central America, with Belize on the Northeast side of it, here is a map of Guatemala.
And here are some facts, image and facts found on www.state.gov (http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/2045.htm)
