The same exact article with the same photos was in my local paper in New Hampshire recently. I hope it will bring some new tourists to the country.

That was a wonderful and gratifying article. I am so pleased to see Guatemala develop and their economy grow. This article is definitely one for my son's scrapbook!

The same article and pictures were in our Sunday edition here in New Orleans. All of my friends have been telling me about it. It made my hubby want to go back to Guatemala but we are going to wait until Mary Lynn is old enough to understand.
