 LA DEMOCRACIA DEBRIS AVALANCHE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
About 5 km west of La Democracia a debris avalanche lobe about 5 km wide and 15 km long, which is herein called the La Democracia debris avalanche, underlies about 60 km² of the coastal plain.
The hummocks contain lithologies similar to those of the Escuintla debris avalanche and it is possible that the La Democracia avalanche occurred at the same time.
The more extensive soil on the La Democracia deposit suggest, however, that it is the result of a separate, older event.

En la actualidad, hay cuatro fincas criadoras de avestruces, las cuales, en conjunto, suman 250 de estas aves.
Dada la capacidad del avestruz para adaptarse a cualquier clima y alimentarse de pasto común, no será extraño ver dentro de poco tiempo a miles de avestruces recorrer las planicies guatemaltecas como las sabanas africanas.

We loaded up our 4 Runner with supplies as well as two of the Caritas trucks and drove them as far as we could until we reached a road that is currently a raging river and only passable with a motorized boat.
We had planned on going on the boats to deliver the supplies, do an assessment of the community, and deliver some basic medical care, but the “river” was moving extremely quickly and it was late in the afternoon.
With the pounding rain they received on Saturday and the road conditions (we spent over an hour driving on mud roads covered in 3 ft. of water) we decided that it would be safer if we returned to the city.

La Democracia, located in Escuintla, dates back to the oldest period of the Olmec civilization that flourished near the Gulf of Mexico.
Minor archaeological centers of note include Mixco Viejo, the religious center of the Pokoman and Iximche, the old capital of the Cakchiquel kingdom, burnt by the Spaniards in 1525 in order to construct nearby the first site of the colonial capital of Santiago de los Caballeros.

Colom was mayor of Guatemala City from 1970 to 1974, former president of the Law Students Association, former member of the University Governing Board, and a leftist presidential hopeful (Aguilera Peralta and Romero Imery 1981: 137; Fundación para la Democracia Manuel Colom Argueta 1999: 31-34).
That same day their mutilated bodies were found in an undeveloped area of zone 16 of the capital, stuffed into a car bearing the legend "This is how all of those in the PGT will die." Death squads claimed the killing as a reprisal for the death of Zepeda Martínez.
At his death Leiva Santos was a pre-candidate for rector and the University's representative to the governmental Commission for Peace, from which the University withdrew in protest of his death (AAAS 1986: 12; Amnesty International 1987a: 117).

Volcanoes of Guatemala have a maxiumum height of 4,220 m and generally don't greatly exceed 3,800 m.
Using 3,800 m as a maximum value for H and 0.075 as a minimum value for H/L, travel distances for future Guatemalan debris avalanches shouldn't exceed that of the Escuintla debris avalanche--about 50 km.

A latter-day tomb raider of sorts picked the right place and the right time - for history’s sake, not hers - to show up at Jades, S.A. headquarters in Antigua and present a jade mask for sale.
Mary Lou Ridinger took one look and knew immediately the blue jade mask was the one stolen from the museum at La Democracia, Escuintla, on the south coast of Guatemala in January 2001.
Mary Lou bought enough time to call a local archaeologist who recovered the mask in 1969 with Lee Parsons while excavating the Monte Alto site.
