The weather is calm, but it's not peaceful. This morning's papers cite 82 deaths from tropical storm Agatha and, if we've got this right, that doesn't include 13 deaths in San Andres Palopo, a village right next to Santa Catarina, outside of which we stayed until we fled Lake Atitlan on Saturday.
Literally: "la cifra no incluye, por ejemplo, los 13 decesos que confirmo al alcalde de San Andres Palopo."
We speculate that it's where we took this photo:
Hi! I actually have a vacation planned for Lake Atitlan / Casa Palopo from June 6th - 12th, what's your opinion on going? We're trying to decide if we should cancel or not!
Please help :]

The bridge is out at Solola, and they tell me it's the only way in. They said they think it'll be back by Wednesday to Friday. I hope you can go. Lovely scenery and the nicest people you'll ever meet. Try to check on that bridge, though.
