Yes, it's all ratcheted up again on SM. Although I feel for the family of the drowned yoga vacationer, my sympathy long ago wore thin. This is so unkind to the real victims in this case, especially the witness-victim, but also all those yoga vacationers who had to deal with the aftermath both in Guatemala and on home shores.Despite the attorney’s account of what Blazek saw and did, the Ng family says they want to hear directly from the people who were with Nancy before she disappeared, so that they can work on piecing together her whereabouts.
“What we want is answers,” Nicky said. “We want to know what happened to Nancy that day and where to find her and we want that information to come from the only witness that was with Nancy at the time of her disappearance, and we want that through official channels.”
I have an enormous amount of sympathy for Nancy's family. But it doesn't seem like they will ever be satisfied by any explanation they are given. There'll always be some loose end to chase or some conspiracy theory explaining what "really" happened to Nancy.
As for expecting Lake Atitlán to produce a body, the local goddess of the deep doesn't like to do that, and rarely coughs up the dead. IMO when you go into wild areas, it's important to anticipate that nature might just start acting nature-y, and it might not go well for you.
All in all, I find a contradiction between being in the la-la land of yoga and hanging out in dangerous places where you need to be risk-aware for survival. Nature is gonna easily win in that scenario. My opinion. About my least favorite IG moment is a cliché yoga pose at Horseshoe Bend AZ.
