This from an article in the June El Quetzal i received today...i will print parts of it but i don't want to show it all without permission. See if you can access www.Guatemalastamps.com "On May 19,2016 Guatemalan new media reported all post offices nation wide were closed. All 690 employees were laid off. The Guatemalan government was caught totally unawares. " According to the author" Guatemala overseas mail worked far better 100 years when letters had to get from the capital to a seaport on the back of a pack mule."
