Guatemla City and Nicaragua
“Guatemala City, a cosmopolitan capitol of two million people bathed in the artificial lights of street lamps. Unlike Managua, the capitol of Nicaragua, Anne would not see the visible signs of Guatemala’s endemic poverty strategically hidden from the main streets and centers of commerce. She way no earthquake ravaged buildings serving as homes to impoverished families or begging streets urchins.”
