Guatemala
In Xela I met up with Abner he is a medical student and needed help with some political banners for his school in return for a place to stay. Abner helped me with spanish alot and showed me around xela.
In 1905 a volcano erupted in Xela and killed 60 percent of their population. After the dust cleared malaria killed nearly 10 percent more. After the top blew on the volcano another volcano developed on the edge of town "The most dangerous volcano in the world" volcan Salvidoria. Xela is the 2nd biggest town in Guatemala.
