Tope
Nacional: Beer, Women and Party Time
Cars gave way this Saturday to make room for
some 4.000 horses and their riders in the
Tope Nacional or what could be described at
the largest outdoor beer party in the
country. The heat and bright sun shining
down on the participants and spectators
added to the cooling effect of a cold "cerveza". |

Guatemalan Gang
GUATEMALA- Bus driver Mynor Gonzalez

had been murdered, but always on other
routes. He knew his job — once considered
secure and well-paying for Guatemala's poor
— had become deadly.
