The first lady of Guatemala came to Cabrican yesterday to drop off an ambulance for our town. She flew in on a helicopter was shuttled into the center of town and gave a speech and then was shuttled right back out as quickly as she came.
The Municipality provided a lunch for her, which was to be held in the library, so it was blocked off and searched for bombs etc. For some reason (I guess I look sketchy), one of her body guards wasn't going to let me in, even though I worked there and the staff had told them I would be coming (or rather, a gringa would be showing up). All the security turned out to be a bit unwarranted though, because a medical doctor showed up, supervised the packing of her food and took it to go. In the end, she never actually came into the library.

You do look sketchy, very sketchy.
Looks like they have upped their security (wonder why). When Colom & Sandra came to Tactic there were no bomb sniffing dogs or really any extravagant security measures for that matter. I was just feet away from both of them. Apparently I don't look sketchy:)
