On a Saturday in December Marcos' brother Francisco (or Paco as they call him) also went to their Guatemalan friend Wilsons workplace where he takes care of the cattle outside Bowling Green, Ky. After they had practiced their roping skills Paco waits for them to leave the ranch. He is 19 years old. He also likes riding horses and the ranchero lifestyle but at the age of 16 he got more into cars and now study to be a mechanic. Paco has an American girlfriend he has been with for over a year. "It is true that there are many differences between Americans and Hispanics. That is why I mostly hang out with people like me, who are hispanics but born in America. We understand each other. But the Americans are nice too, like my girlfriend,"he said.
