I've been traveling in Guatemala since early November, working on a series of stories. Here's a recent batch of notes from the road from the past few days, and the entire trip journal is at xeni.net/trek.
* Terremoto: a 5.9 earthquake hits
* Medical aid for Mayan communities near Lake Atitlán
* Film on "femicides" in Guatemala: Killer's Paradise
* Film on sex workers in Guatemala: Estrellas de la Linea
* Some headlines in news here this week
