AMONGST FRIENDS

ANTIGUA GUATEMALA: FEBRUARY 13

I moved residence yesterday to Lucia's home in town. Erick is overseeing the building of a new house. Five pint-size Maya workers mix concrete for a terrace. A studio apartment for Lucia's son, Manuel, is complete. Manuel is in residence. A passionate and expert rock climber, Manuel graduated from University in Colorado and now works as a mountain, white-water and nature guide. He is more qualified than most and has a good Toyoto 4x4. He is also young and handsome which is no bad thing in a guide. Fluent in Spanish, English and French, he makes ideal company for an ascent of Antigua's volcanoes. He will also take clients to visit haciendas that are closed territory to the standard tourist. Call him on 50255269110 or check out his web site: www.wildguatemala.com
