And Roll...

The force was definitely with Guatemala yesterday as it shook and rattled to the combined effects of a strong tremor, tropical storm Adrian and the local premiere of Revenge of the Sith.

It's all been enough to prompt the abuelita (granny) of this blogger to prognosticate the nighness of the end of the local world. (His own response to this portentous state of affairs is a great little joke, which Spanish speakers will enjoy.)

Across the border the Mexicans have responded to the arrival of the final Star Wars prequel in the way they know best - every piece of promotional material not actually bolted to the ground has been misappropriated including two giant posters measuring 12.9m by 7.2 m.

There have been 6 sismos of a magnitude greater than 4 this week in Guatemala. One commentator on blog di mi Guatemala claims that the constant seismic activity is what he most misses about his homeland!
