Wow ... Just, Wow

For the past 30+ years, whenever I've been asked to name the most beautiful place I've seen, I've always answered Kashmir. Well, we have a close contender in Lago Atitlan. But first, back to Chichi. Unfortunately, Ellery had quite a stomach bug overnight, so we got very little sleep....

Deforestation ... Lessons Learned

Today started out with a walk back to the market, where Ellery and I explored the produce and meat market. There were baskets upon baskets of onions, bananas, oranges, cauliflower, potatoes, strawberries – just about every kind of produce imaginable. And the smells of it all – the strong onion,...

Moving Forward ... and South

Jose was right on time, picking us up at La Lancha at the ungodly hour of 4:30 a.m. Indeed, we were up before the howler monkeys, a real feat. This is especially true given that a group of Mexican tourists had arrived the evening before, and their arrival spoiled the quiet nights that we had...

Zip!

Today was another adventure – this time to Ixpanpajul and Flores, a small town on the other side of the lake. The drive to Ixpanpajul passed through much of the same territory as before, but after the turn off at Ixlu, there was a decidedly different atmosphere along the road. Many small...

This Place Is In Ruins!

This morning I awoke to the very eerie sounds of howler monkeys. Like something out of “Lost,” it’s a very strange sound. Alas, none were seen. After breakfast, we headed out to the main attraction of this area of Guatemala, Tikal. Julio was our guide, and Juan our driver. Until this...

La Lancha

Awakening early, Ellery and I ventured out, with Chad and Henry, to do some bird watching. Alas, my lucky finds of yesterday were far more interesting than anything we spotted today. Still, it was a nice walk around Chaa Creek one final time. Then, after breakfast, Ellery, William, and...

Camino al centro de centroamerica

Sali de Pochutla, en Oaxaca, a 30 minutos de Masunte. 12 horas de autobus hasta Tapachula, frontera de Mexico-Guatemala, y 6 horas mas hasta Guatemala City. Como tiene fama de poquisimo segura, de la misma estacion agarré un taxi y me vine a Antigua. Esto si que es Bonito, muy turistico pero muy...
