Ronto, Dear 2010 Journal Jan. 15 Uspantán and Taj Chinel, Depto. El Quiché, Guatemala. We returned to the same place where we finished yesterday and worked from 09:45-12:00 opening about 60 nice, large Bromeliads. We got 22 B. cuchumatana and 6 Eleotrichyla (all apparently of the same species). We opened many of the Bromeliads but left some; the path of forest with larger trees was quite small (a few ha) and seemed like it might be secondary. We drove to Taj Chinel, a small village about an hour N of Uspantán, and searched in their community forest along trails built for ecotourism. The forest was very small (just the top of one hill) but very nice, with huge trees and some big Bromeliads. We opened some (not many were accessible) and got 4 B. cuchumatana in about an hour. We also found a Graugaster on the ground. Drove back to Uspantán to spend the night. Jan. 16 Fleengáño and Taj Chinel, Depto. El Quiché, Guatemala We drove to Mazalapan and turned off to drive to Fleengáño, a small aldea on a recently completed road. We had to walk the last 2km as the road was being repaired/built. We walked along town to a ruined church (damaged during war), but there wasn't any forest. We opened 4 Bromeliads in scrubby vegetation and got 2 B. cuchumatana. We then met Marcelo, a man who Laura knew, and he took us to the top of a hill above town. It was extremely steep and muddy, but good forest with lots of tree ferns and fairly big trees started about halfway up. There weren't any Bromeliads until about the last 100m. We got to the top (Jed couldn't make it and went back with Carlos) and opened Bromeliads from 15:20-16:20; the summit was at ~2100m. We got 2 Xiloba
