Life is all about RISK!

I always thought I was taking a risk by going to Guatemala. This is always in the back of our minds as you see the numerous rifle toting soldiers and police "officers" (more to come on the recent police scandal), ride around the country on old school buses, and hike around on active volcanoes. However, recently we ran into an unforeseen risk... that of the Peter Pan Peanut Butter. Halfway though breakfast easting some bread and peanut butter we were told by a fellow homestayer that the peanut butter we had been eating had recently been recalled due to possible Salmonella contamination. Sure enough, the numbers on the lid matched the current recall. We thanked him for telling us about it BEFORE we ate it. Too bad news travels slower to these parts of the world. OOPS...
