Rudy Herrera-Marmol - Guatemala City, Guatemala One player enjoying the culture, education, soccer and weather of Brazil in 2009 is Rudy Herrera-Marmol and here is short reflection his experience so far. I am from Guatemala and so Brazilian culture feels close to mine and although I have noticed many differences, I have quickly become accustomed to life here and would consider living here in the future. São Paulo is a unique city, it has a lot to offer and it represents many aspects of Brazil while simultaneously being a cosmopolitan center in the region. Although I miss Macalester, I have enjoyed a warmer São Paulo in January and February. http://athletics.macalester.edu/news/2009/3/27/MSOC_0327092311.aspx
