Ok, this is kind of one of those weird coincidences. Late last week a story came out about a group of Michigan State University students (where I also work) being briefly kidnapped and robbed in Guatemala. Well, upon reading one of the stories, I discovered that apparently they were on their way to Lake Atitlan, and had stopped at a stretch of the road where cars seem to roll uphill when in neutral. When we were in Guatemala on our last cruise, after leaving San Lucas Toliman, we stopped on a stretch of the road where our guide pointed out that in this area cars appear to roll uphill. Now, I don’t know for sure that it was really the same spot, but it seems pretty likely.

Working on putting up notes from last cruise
Ok, I’m working on putting up my thoughts on each day and the photos from the last cruise, a Panama Canal transit over the Christmas holiday. It’ll take me a few days to get everything up, I’ll make a note here when it’s done. The comments that I prepare for each day are being posted with the date that they were on, and are available by clicking on the 2008 Panama Canal Cruise category to the left.
