So for those of you who haven't heard about it on the news, Volcano Pacaya erupted last Thursday leaving ash all over the capital, Guatemala City, then on Saturday a huge tropical storm, Agatha, came through flooding a major part of the country. This has left landslides, a giant sink hole, fallen bridges, lots of mud, and the airport closed for almost a week. I luckily? was out of the country visiting some friends and couldn't return until today. For pictures of the catostrophe you can go to http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/06/a_rough_week_for_guatemala.html
I've heard my house and town are fine and were minorly effected. The capital has been a disaster. Right now I'm just trying to make my way back to Jocotan, hopefully arriving tomorrow or the next day. I'll keep you updated on further news once I get there.
Peace, Love,
Robin
