Greetings from Guatemala!
I've managed to get Internet access here, and have been catching up on the rest of the world this morning.

I've been here two days so far, and have seen mind-bending things. For one: all of the buildings here- and I do mean all of them- are built so that they are open to the outside atmosphere. As I sit writing this, I'm in a room with the doors open to the outdoors. All of the restaurants I've been in have areas with corrugated metal roofs over them, but are mostly open to the sky. There are no window screens, and other than maybe three houseflies, I have yet to encounter insects. It's an entire city of pavilions and open-sided buildings.

And the people here! It seriously looks like the stereotypes of Mexico down here, with armed guards all over the place and old women wearing outfits that would make a peacock embarrassed, and lovely little senoritas wearing painted on jeans and stiletto heels teetering all around.

Speaking of: as I was in the airport in DC one of these little cha-cha girls sat in the chair to my immediate left. She was wearing VERY low low-riders that seriously looked like a coat of paint and a cropped shirt with a low neckline, hair streaked with blonde, deep brown eyes, six inch heels... and as she was talking in Spanish on her cell phone I kept getting whiffs of sulphur.

This hot little chica was cracking off one Big Nasty after another. Kinda wrecked the illusion, ya know?

I need to bring my camera's card down here with me so I can upload pictures. Seriously, this place defies description...

More later. But I can strongly recommend this as a vacation destination.

Stay happy, my homies...
