Yes, this was the news that greeted me first thing on the tiny public radio station news here in Charlottesville this morning. Oh gee whiz. Rob, take care of yourself...even the taxi drivers aren't going out after 6 pm. Thanks for taking good care of me when I was there. I was never scared once! Well, maybe for a moment when we went to that karaoke bar and you sang "El Condor Pasa." Other than that...it was fine!

Stay Safe Rob. Love, Andy & Marisa

Just this morning I was thinking about April and Samana Santa. Rob, I know you are careful; but under the circumstances, I would ask that you be cautious. At one time being gringo meant hands off; it appears that now it is an enticement. We pray for your safety and better times for Guatemala.
