I live in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. We have power here. There have been LOTS of protests because the power company was bought by some big corporation from another country( I don't remember the details and don't want to make them up)
BUT- I do know when it happened, our power bill has tripled over the last 6 months.
So, I have been expecting some kind of retribution as the citizens get louder and louder; blocking roads, protesting mayors homes and up the line of govt. There has been protests somewhere each week since it happened, it is only a matter of time before they ALL go to the presidential palace.
If you have lived in C.A for long enough, you start to see how powerful the people are when it comes to how they are treated locally. Keep me updated please, I want to check in with some friends in C.R, El Sal. and Honduras.
Kindest Regards- stay safe

wowo, everything is back online here, thanks for the heads up on the lake, we used to live there
Cool, which side?
I will follow you, I see you and I think a lot alike as to why we prefer the freedom of a place like this.
IF you make it back up to Atitlan or Antigua, hit me up. I can be a useful resource in many cities and towns in this region. Feel free to drop in for a High!!
Sounds grat, we will work on making a trip to visit the hotsprings at the lake soon. Maybe in a week or two....... I was living in Tzununa for a few years. Than moved down into Costa Rica, actually, yeah, I could use some hot springs, maybe I will come out in a week before I go back down to Panama....
I can take you to an unknown Volcano heated Vapores in Xela if you want.. it is way off the beaten trail and literally they walled the volcano up so the bricks glow red in the back room...
It is near the hot springs there so we always do both. It is an off road 4x4 ride to get to the family vapor rooms..
Anytime..
