Hola! I am back from Guatemala. I spent 10 great days there. I visited three different rotary clubs and the site of ancurrent water and sanitation project funded by Rotary International.

Greetings from Guatemala. It is 9pm on Monday night and I am sitting in a traffic jam from a manifestación (demonstration). The transporation workers have blocked the road.

Well, I made it! I left Comitan, Mexico after breakfast and arrived in Guatemala City about 6pm. I really fell in love with Comita’n. It is a beautiful city. I want to return. At breakfast asked the waiter for some “romantic” hotels and he gave me these names: Asienda Los Angeles and Hotel Lagos de […]
I traveled across the southern part of Mexico from Veracruz to Chiapas, from Catemaco to Comitan. I left Catemaco early, I didn’t even eat breakfast. It was another day of beautiful country and safe travels. I grouped the photos today as: Bridges, Sweet Country, Cool buildings in old towns, Churches and The Vista. The Bridges: […]
