Laura and Richard's 2004 trip to Canillá, Guatemala
Laura and I went to Guatemala from 2004-04-12 to 2004-04-28. We were in Canillá, El Quiche, from 2004-04-24 to 2004-04-26. We went to visit the Catholic Church, and some of the Canillá residents who used to live in Ohio. We also met the families of some current "paisanos" in Ohio.
The roads to Canillá are terrible.
