More land offers

Now that people know we bought land, we are getting more offers.

A man knocked on our door one evening, saying he lived in Chulumal II (where we own property) and that he had a piece of property to sell.  His story was that the school his daughter attends in town is requesting that the students buy laptops, and he needs to raise money for that purchase.  He drives a tuk-tuk, and his story seems probable.

Out of curiosity, we went to see the property he has for sale.  It is down the road from our land, but it is a very small triangular-shaped piece (about 3400 sq. ft.). That is the size people are receiving as inheritances these days since the land is so divided up.
We told him we would spread the word... so does anyone want to buy a tiny piece of Guatemala?  (Just kidding.)
