... week ago and it has been annoying the merchants and townspeople in the form of a ¨beep, beep, beep¨ that just won't stop. An old man walked up to the machine and shook his machete at it and then walked away. The old lady who runs the general store came out three times to stare at it while shaking her head. I wonder when HSBC will be back to service the machine and to spare these people the agony of listening to it ask for some kind of attention it is not getting ...

... Guatemala to Chile in over a year. Each community is doing some sort of symbolic walk with him, and today was the day for Las Brisas, so we got to walk symbolically with Bob, with these children and families. What a great opportunity.<br><br>Along the walk Pat made friends with the kids once again with no Spanish but just his good humor and physical jokes. The kids were giggling and saying "esponja". They thought Pat looked like SpongeBob ...

We went for a swim in the murky warm water, went for dinner at some womans house basically who dragged us in as we passed looking for a restuarant. We had some tasty local fish for dinner but she was a bit scary.
