Hmmm.  Weird accents are showing up.  Sorry about that.  Not sure what to do, since they aren’t in what I’m seeing. 

Today I woke early,and went for a walk. I bought a tamale, wrapped in banana leaf and a bit different than the tamales I’m used to. Went back to the hotel. Annalise was ready to move on to Lanquin, so Iris and I walked her to the bus stop, and then we walked to a different spot, where we caught a mini-bus to a small village 8 km away.

It was a cute little village, and today happened to be market day, which was cool.  People came from all over for the market.  Colorful and fun.




Not much to say, and I’m getting hungry.   Lot’s of cool pictures from today though.  I look forward to going through them all when I get home.

Grey Whales Upclose

In Laguna San Ignacio, we did what we had come to do. These lagoons are famous for offering a whale encounter almost unlike anywhere else in the world, with Mama whales encouraging their babies to come up close to the boat. It was something I

Like normal, I was behind prepping for the trip. The day our friends showed up, I was still putting the final touches on the roof rack I built for the van. But finish I did, and early Sunday morning we were off. Our first stop
