Gringo on a Chicken Bus details the unforgettable and delightful
experiences of David Koons as he begins the adventure of a lifetime
with a move to Central America in 1978 to accept a job as the new
assistant director of an archaeological foundation in Guatemala
City.
While growing up in rural Indiana, the author had never
experienced an enormous city without the safety net of friends or
family. He shares the fascinating details of how he embarked on a
journey as a young man to war-torn Central America with only
rudimentary Spanish skills, ultimately testing his confidence and
self-esteem in ways he never imagined possible. As he takes his
first ride on a chicken bus, where not only suitcases are stored in
the luggage rack, but also eggs, cans of gasoline, and of course,
chickens, David realizes he is in for several eye-opening
experiences over the next few years while living in Central
America.
With a humorous and appealing voice, Koons offers an
entertaining look into a culture with colorful traditions, a
resilient welcoming people, and a countryside rich in Mayan
archeology.
