Nature has also decided to remind us we are in a geologically active region, and one of the local volcanos, Acatenango, is wreathed in clouds and emitting a huge smoke plume. We've experienced several earthquakes living here, not to mention frequent power outages, and with this much of a plume, another quake may be imminent. The entire town was destroyed by an eruption in 1717, causing the capital to be moved from Antigua to Guatemala City, but none of the recent quakes have been dangerous. Knock on lava we'll be OK, especially as my feet are too messed up from fire ant bites to run very fast.
