We've just received an email <br />from our daughter. <br />who suddenly went off to Guatemala <br />with a nice young man she hardly knows at all <br />on some exotic Mayan trail. <br /> <br />She's in San Pedro de la Laguna - <br />a lovely spot, they say - where tourists <br />(so the Lonely Planet web-page tells us) <br />have been attacked quite recently. <br /> <br />We suffer, as my parents must have done <br />when I bummed my way round Mexico <br />with bushy hair and jeans and plastic beads, <br />embarrassingly long ago. <br /> <br />History, then, seems to repeat itself, <br />down generations which are keen for change. <br />The only major difference seems to be <br />that this time round WE lose the sleep!<br /><br />Robert Melliard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-neo-hippy-daughter/
