Sand, Mud Slides and Sinkholes...Oh My!

We've received a lot of emails today asking if we were affected by the storms and stuff from last week. I can happily tell you that there are benefits to being in the jungle! All Agatha did to us was steal our rain clouds for a few days to return us to the blistering hot days of dry season. We don't have any volcanos or even mountains to fall on us, so ha ha to all of you people in Antigua with your "perfect weather all year" or "land of eternal spring."

But seriously, there is great devestation in the mountains and many of our friends were greatly affected. Here are some links if you would like to see pictures of the volcanic sand in Guate and want to know why the airport is closed down, or the sink holes in Guate, or go to expat mom's website to read several interesting posts about the storm and it's effects.

I tried getting everybody to come to Petén, but had no takers. For now, the skies are clear.
