August 18, 2020 //  by michael.shead

Guatemala continues moving forward through the COVID-19 challenges that began here in mid-March. Restrictions with nightly curfews (9 p.m. – 4 a.m.) are in place and every municipality has it’s own color-coded level of restrictions.

These COVID Times

Here in Guatemala, we’ve been on stay-at-home/curfew/restricted contact/quarantine or whatever you want to call it for more than two months now.  Since mid-March, the infection count has gone from 1 to over 2,260 (which is actually pretty good compared to other places).

March 23, 2020 //  by michael.shead

Life has changed a lot here in Guatemala since the COVID-19 Corona Virus has spread across the globe, and we know it has changed for many others too. In Chichicastenango, where we live, there is normally a bustling market with tourists, vendors, and colorful handicrafts and vegetables. Not now. The tourists are gone, the market …
