Relief Map of Guatemala...

Thursday we visited the Relief Map of Guatemala. It was really cool...designed in the early 1900's by Francisco Vela. The 2,000sq m/21,500sq ft map shows Guatemala's topography in detail complete with rivers, lakes and oceans and is viewed from platforms located on each side. It was really neat to get an overview of the whole country and to see places where we have traveled over the years.

The town of Coban is between Jane and David.


The tall volcanos are located around Lake Atitlan, where we plan to visit this week. It is probably the most beautiful place in all of Central America...ok, maybe I am a little prejudiced.


Chimaltenango is located right in the very middle of this picture - about 25 minutes north of Antigua, 45 minutes west of the capital - on CA-1, the Central America Highway. Pray for our home here...more details to come, hopefully next week. Pray for the people of Chimaltenango.
