Quetzaltenango Travel Forum

This board is so cool and interesting. I'll be spending some time here and reading everyone's posts.

My question is: is there a gym in Xela where a lady can work out? I'll be studying there for five weeks in the spring of 2006, and that's too long to go without lifting.

Any recommendation will be appreciated.

Another question: how are things going after the flooding from Hurricane Stan? It is so hard to get news from there. It seems as if everyone's weblogs are out-of-date. If you have any news at all, please post. Do they have electricity, water, telephones etc? What's a good place to send aid $...? Is the road open to Guatemala City?

Thanks for any answers you may have.

I just got back from Guatemala,(in Denmark now), just wanted to let yo know that the main roads around Lake Atitlan and in the rest of the country are open and in use! I arrived the 7th of Oct, just few days after Stan, and travelled thrughout the country with no problems. Towns around Lake Atitlan were an exeptions, in stead of visiting them in the beginning of my trip, I was able to pass the roads by the end of October. They do have electricity, water and telephones.

Have a good trip!
