Well we’re here…and Guatemala is amazing. But, the days are so full and long…and wifi so sparse so far that I’m delaying the blog for a while. In the meantime here are a couple of shots from our first day to whet your appetite:
Our personal prop-jet from Guatemala City to Flores and the Maya
Warm up for Tikal
Boat out to Topoxte on an island in Lake Yaxha. Kind of a miniture Tikal where we’ll be next. These pre-classical and classical structures of the Maya are still being unearthed, but stalled by lack of money and foreign archeologists “stealing” artifacts as “payment”.
Great pics. Happy birthday to Marsha tomorrow
Enjoy! My brother and I were there in 2001…one month after 9-11. We were almost only people from USA there, or flying anywhere those days. (our tickets were all prepaid, so we were going!) Priceless memories of Tikal, Antigua, and Lake Atitlan.
Just mailed Marsha’s birthday card. Happy Birthday Marsha and both you and Joel have a great trip.
