Huge puddles

Now that rainy season is in full swing, one section of the dirt road that we travel on to get to town is full of huge puddles.  Last year they tried to "fix" the problem by filling the low areas with gravel and dirt, but that just moved the problem down the road farther.
     In the photos you can see a large truck, a small tuk-tuk, and a medium pickup truck, but traversing the puddles is actually hardest for the many people that walk or ride on motorcycles.
     Each year the communities that are located on this heavily used road ask the government of Guatemala to pave it, but no progress has been made yet.
