MSU students kidnapped in Guatemala

Ok, this is kind of one of those weird coincidences.  Late last week a story came out about a group of Michigan State University students (where I also work) being briefly kidnapped and robbed in Guatemala.  Well, upon reading one of the stories, I discovered that apparently they were on their way to Lake Atitlan, and had stopped at a stretch of the road where cars seem to roll uphill when in neutral.  When we were in Guatemala on our last cruise, after leaving San Lucas Toliman, we stopped on a stretch of the road where our guide pointed out that in this area cars appear to roll uphill.  Now, I don’t know for sure that it was really the same spot, but it seems pretty likely.
