Guatemala

I'm in Guatemala for a while, researching some stories here. I'll be posting photos, video, and other notes from the road here on xeni.net/trek. Hello to you from Antigua, Guatemala -- where I can hear 400-year-old church bells ringing right now in the dark, along with night birds. The air smells like cooking fire smoke. Twin volcanoes of ash and water are sleeping soundly tonight (this is a good thing), and I will be in a few moments, too.
