Re: Real search could be at La Ceiba, Honduras

Apparently such changes in plan are a routine part of the inept government in Guatemala. While riding the train last week I noticed a huge complex of unfinished roads and foundations along the track. When I asked what it was, I was told it was intended to be a new customs compound of warehouses, offices and loading docks. But some years ago the government changed and the new administration just abandoned the prior administration's unfinished project to start their own. A lot of money wasted in the process.
Some folks in Guatemala seem to think of the former dictatorships as the "good old days". Democracy seems to have resulted in a succession of inept and corrupt administrations. For example, FVG pays ten percent of revenue into a government controlled "railroad improvement fund" that was intended to help fund desperately needed capital improvement projects for the railroad. Instead it simply funds a bloated Fegua bureacracy that does nothing useful except collect the checks from FVG.
