From Nathanael: “While traveling I've been called a lot of things. Some friends call me rubio, others gringo, others still gringo loco. But of all the names I have been given over the years, I was first christened el güero (pronounced [weh-doe] and alternatively written wero) which is an all-purpose nickname for any light-skinned or blonde-headed person. It's what they called me on the soccer fields behind the school where all the Mexican and Guatemalan guys played on Sunday afternoons. Out on these fields I learned a lot of slang, swear words, and forms of expression you won’t find in books, but also that everything you're taught in the classroom is not enough to truly communicate. Language, culture, food, friendship, they are all pieces of a puzzle we call community. Food brings us together in a way that nothing else can.”
