When Ducks fly, Ducks fly together.
After nearly 20 hours of travel that began June 10th, a contingent of 20 Oregon student-athletes and four staff members arrived in Guatemala City, where we gathered our bags and went through customs. As we exited the airport it felt like we were the away team for Game 7 of the NBA Finals getting off the bus — a hundred Guatemalans surrounded the exit ramp, looking at our group as if they had never seen an American.
As we made our way to the bus, smiles between us and several Guatemalans were shared.
