This is from a friends blog dated today, October 25, 2011.
We're taking a rest day in Santa Ana. The idea was to give Greg Powell, a Canadian friend making the same trip a chance to catch up with us.
He stopped over at Lake Atitlan in Guatemala and was beaten and robbed, and on top of it all his bike damaged. The State Department Advisories say Don't go to Lake Atitlan. We followed their advice. Greg is physically OK but the bike needs work and he needs to replace a bunch of his gear.
We're glad there are two of us and even more so that we're out of Guatemala.
