Rural road to Uspantán a bit dicey

Here are a few photos from our road trip last week with the St. Louis team. These are from the highway between San Cristobal Verapaz and Uspantán. Road construction seems to be underway in many places across Guatemala. I was happy Rick had a four-wheel-drive vehicle, and I'm glad we chose to go the back way to Chichicastenango. The deep canyons, green hills and rugged terrain did our hearts good.

In case you were wondering, yes, this is a two-way highway. Drivers have to be ready to back up to a wide spot if someone comes from the other direction.
