Ditched

Bush never got to meet lechugero Mariano Canu in Tecpán. The President's security team went on a massive recce in the days before he visited Guatemala and in the end decided that the terrain close to the US-funded lettuce patch was unsafe.

A few days after I arrived the King and Queen of Spain turned up in a Spanish airforce jet and subsequently visited San Pedro las Huertas close to Antigua. Oscar Berger looked like a midget next to Juan Carlos when he greeted him on the tarmac at Aurora International.

I covered the event at San Pedro las Huertas by pure chance... I have photos, videos and a slide show. Check it out!
