    Thanks for sharing. Is so beautiful and rich the United Kingdom of Guatemala established since 1609 and extends from the Soconusco (today Chiapas) to part of Panama. Guatemala is the 12th producer of silver in the world and 20th producer of gold besides having massive reserves of nickel, jade and many other natural resources; too bad for almost a century big mining foreign companies have been taking almost everything. The Malvinas belong to Argentina, The Esequibo belongs to Venezuela and Belice belongs to Guatemala. God bless

      Guatemala city probably has some solid nightlife ... but I wouldn’t know!

      @@SwedishGringo It's an approximation of the time of Saturn's returning to its spot at birth. The time varies from one person to another. 28 is for simplifition.
      It marks the definitive time of transition into full adult responsibility. Most folks have already accepted full responsibility about age 21 at the time of Saturn's second square to its position at birth, but allowances must be made for disruption in the maturation process along the line.
      By the time after the returning, one's ways may have been set, though allowances must be made for change if effort be willed. Lack of a natural wedlock beyond that age indicates serious disruption to the socializing function, which may prove damaging to the fabric of society, even if in small ways.
