... standing treatment plants, only 1 is partly working. Communities demand that there be 12-16 water treatment facilities.

Who knows when this will actually happen!? It is quite sad. Even though citizens suggest the reduction of plastic bags and phophorus-based chemicals, it seems very unlikely that the law will pass soon. Additionally, phosphorus is found in so many substances, including detergents, soaps, etc. All those around ...

... and other gross stuff, ew she has the swine flu now)
and almost broke her ankle, we eventually made it to the Plaza Mayor.
This plaza, supposedly once the center of Central American urban life,
was now filled with shoeshiners, old men chatting (presumably, bec old
men are the same everywhere) about the weather to each other, and LOTS
of pigeons. And adorable babies feeding them. Despite the fact that it
wasn´t very pretty or impressive, we sat and ...

... br>from Bob and Freida Cox, we were able to provide materials so that the
young adults with Global Challenge Expeditions (Christian Mission group
from South Africa ) could build a home for Ana and her four children.
Thank you so much for your donations and support!!


Ana’s new home has a new tin roof, one large room in the back (able to fit two beds), a toilet and a simple shower, underground septic
tank, a space for a ...

... like Indiana Jones…but a lazy girl type version..and thought a lot about Dr. Evil and talk of MAGMA. Hehe

Some people were loud and pushy and stupid about it all but ignoring them it was a great place to be! Some dogs came along the whole trip and I couldn’t believe their little paws didn’t get burned but I’m sure they know what they are doing. It was quite disconcerting being near the lava as it made me realise at any place on the cone, at any time the ...

... booming speakers at random times
>pounding and clanking;the man with the weathered brown skin strikes the earth with the hoe to prepare and help the corn grow.

>Guns n Roses, other classic rock, and Latin American hits pouring out of Pana Rock, the hip place to be for live music

... Plus on s approchait de Coban, plus le paysage etait montagneux. Nous avons roule environ 2h dans des chaines de montagnes. La route etait tres "tumultueuse", mais le paysage en vallait la peine. La ville de Coban etait tres ordinaire, nous avons visite une fabrique de cafe et avons continuer notre route vers Antigua, une ville entouree de volcan.

Antigua

En arrivant dans la ville, nous avions une vue sur le volcan Agua ...

... varno drzavo, so ga oropali in ga celo slekli. Revez je torej zjutraj tekal ob cesti in verjamem, da mu ni bilo toplo, saj so temperature na tej visini(2500 m) dokaj sveze. Glede varnosti se to...v turisticnih mestih, kot je recimo Antigua, policija patruljira vso noc in se neopazno, z ugasnjenimi lucmi vozi po ulicah.

Nazaj k vasici Panjachel...K placani voznji do jezera sva dobila tudi svojega vodica, ki naju je spremljal ob voznji po jezeru in obisku vasic ...

... done with the lava fun. Others got a little closer, roasted marshmellows, and their skin. There is no way that something like that would fly in Canada, groups of hikers scaling sharp lava rock to stand feet away from a moving stream of lava. I think they think that if we´re crazy enough to do it then they´ll be crazy enough to let us! It was an exhausting day but once we got back we toped it off with a crazy night out and went to bed close to 5am ...

... meilleures), les bananes plantain (mes préférées, surtout frites et avec de la cannelle par-dessus...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhhhhh), les melons de toutes sortes, les jocotes, les pommes de cajou (eh non, il n'y a pas que les noix de cajou, voyez ici), les ananas, les fraises, les avocats, les cucurbitacés de toutes sortes etc... Heureusement que je me dirige vers l'Asie apres l'Amérique centrale. Je n'aurai pas trop le ...

I wonder some times if Mexico does certain things just to **** people off. Entering MX you need a vehicle registration which says that you will not sell or leave the vehicle in MX. So, you need to cancel the permit when you LEAVE MX. Any person with some common sense would think "Hey, why don't we put the office at the borders?" Nope, they put it in the city thats 30 mins back in ...
