G is for Gallo

According to Wikipedia, "Gallo is Guatemala's oldest continually produced beer, dating back to 1896. It is also the most famous beer in the country, and has become part of Guatemalan popular culture." While I was in Guatemala, I drank several bottles and cans of Gallo. In fact the first time I had Gallo was before lunch as two others and I were waiting for our group. It was early in the trip. The three of us spoke little Spanish and were still getting used to the Quetzal (Guatemalan money). We walked into a disgusting drinking establishment that smelled like a urine filled outhouse. Obviously we chose to take the beer with us instead of to drink inside. I gave the guy 100 Quetzal, and he gave me three Gallos. When we were on the street enjoying our beer, I took my money out to figure out how much each beer cost. Oops, it seems I spent $4.50 for each beer. As the week ended, we became better with the language and money. The basic price was $1.50.

Since Kasey and Ryan were my Gallo drinking buddies, they have the pictures of us drinking on the street. I have yet to get the pictures from the two, so I am going to attach a Google image.

BTW- After spending four hours with my attorney this morning discussing my dog bite (now three years old), I may need a Gallo. Instead I will go to the gym this evening.

...and while you're watching the video, remember I don't really know the language, so I have no idea what is being said.
