At least there was a beautiful walk involved, though.  And I was fast 
enough that I didn't get bit.  One of these days I'll have enough 
internet that I'll be able to put together a couple more pictures to 
upload to the blog. 
I walked up to a little village just over Uspántan, where the locals 
claimed not to know the guy I was looking for.  And they said, "today, 
almost nobody here is home."  It was pretty clear that they were 
reluctant to talk to me themselves.  Figured that was a good sign not to 
press it. 
I think I'm going to wind things up here for a while, then give it 
another go in a week or two.  Think I'm going to go to Santa Eulalia, 
which is even more rural, and further up in the highlands.  Either on 
the way out or the way back, I'll make a stop in Sacapulas or 
Huehuetenango.  Sacapulas is a little place about an hour and a half 
east of here, and Huehue is a medium-sized place--one of the bigger 
places in the highlands, which is the jumping-off point for a trip to 
Santa Eulalia.
