Tropical Storm Agatha




Tropical Storm Agatha hit this weekend bringing heavy rains throughout Guatemala. Just before the storm one of the 30+ volcanoes (Pacaya) erupted spewing ash all over the capital city and closing schools across the country. Agatha did manage to get my sweats and shoes wet on my way to yoga, but other than that Lizzy and I are doing fine. It was very entertaining watching people try to jump across the roads that had become rivers. The one in front of my house looked ready to be kayaked. My favorite part of the day was watching an older man jump across the river and then have a huge smile spread across his face with his accomplishment.
