Only in Petén

This is the MAIN STREET in Santa Elena / Flores!! If you look straight ahead, you will see the island of Flores ... the capitol of Petén ... and this is the corner of the main intersection in town. Months ago the muni ripped up and dug out the main road from this intersection to the island capitol ... and the road to the right which is the main route out of town. They worked long enough to get a good deep hole which promptly filled with water, at which point they closed down the operation and left it as you see it ... with grass growing right up to the intersection.

You can only imagine what this has done to our traffic patterns!!
