Laura and Richard's 2004 trip to Canillá, Guatemala
Laura and I went to Guatemala from 2004-04-12 to 2004-04-28. We were in Canillá, El Quiche, from 2004-04-24 to 2004-04-26. We went to visit the Catholic Church, and some of the Canillá residents who used to live in Ohio. We also met the families of some current "paisanos" in Ohio.
