Fotos III

I'm on my way to Lake Atitlan right now.  According to CNN, it is the third most scenic lake in the world.  I'm easily impressed so I think I'll enjoy it.  In the meantime, here are some pictures.

The entrance to Cenote Dos Ojos.  This is where we snorkeled around underground in the Yucatan.

Alex and me with our German friends Chris, Pipo, and Dominique in Dos Ojos.  Waterproof camera is coming in handy.

I had to watch my head for stalactites the entire time.

I had Al take a picture of me hanging out about ten feet underwater near this hole.  There was an air pocket on the other side, but I wasn't interested.

This was taken on the ride from SW Mexico to Ciudad del Carmen.  I only got one picture because the Mexican army made me put my camera away.

Subsistence farming in SW Mexico.  All these fields were tended on steep hills.

This was the first sea turtle I encountered.  I think it is National Geographic material.

Screwing around with my underwater timer in Akumal.

Our fellow Seattleites Zac and Amber and our French wedding planner friend Aline.  Notice Alex's Mexican hair styling.

A road shot of the Belize jungle.

Barton Creek Outpost just after I let go of the rope swing.

Logan, the jungle kid, climbing vines.

Our beautiful free camping spots.

Our little climbing venture down the Rio On pools.

Here's a view from the other direction.

Alex's first back flip at Big Rock in Belize.

Taken on our 90 mile dirt trip out to the Coracol ruins.

Me hanging out in a tomb.

One of the quads at Coracol.  We were the only ones there.

This tree looks like a brontosaurus.

The largest ruin at Coracol.  You can't see the top.  There are two more levels.

Entrance to the Mayan underworld.  Check out the face on the right.

My favorite part of Tikal: the spiral staircase.

A view of the Guatemalan mountains with Charlie's and Patrick's bikes while we waited for the roadblock to be cleared.

On our way to Semuc Champe.  Very comfortable!

Here I am getting a sore ass sliding down some rocks.

More to come.
