Gray/Griffith in Guatemala

With some leg work by Jim we were able to find a great townhouse near the school in Zona 15.  It backs right up to a jungle ravine.  The girls have discovered avocado, lime and other assorted and yet unidentified fruit trees (no snakes yet!).  It is an oasis in our new urban home.  We awake to rosters crowing.  Abby says it is like living on a farm (remember she is 5).  Click here for a view of Jungle Jim’s Backyard.  More on Guatemala City later but so far we think it gets a bad rap.  It is not Boston or even Cleveland but with day trips to active volcanoes, the colonial city of Antigua and to the Pacific it is not a bad place to be based.
