Guatemala Pre-Harvest Trip

The more directly we work on coffee projects, the more we need to visit coffee origins in the off season to make plans for the harvest. This was a quick trip (made even shorter by delayed flights and missed connections in Houston) to visit Acatenango, Antigua and Huehuetenango and check in on our coffee partners there.
