Botfly

Tue, 21 Feb 2012 | By kiwiaoraki | Views [6138]

The botfly. It may sound like something out of a sci-fi movie: perhaps a robotic fly with a camera that can fly into all those little hard-to-reach places and find out what's going on and what we can learn. Trust me, it's anything but! The human botfly ... Read more >

Guatemala!

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 | By henrique | Views [4303] | Comments [2]

  Um conhecido ditado entre os viajantes é de que quem faz a viagem são as pessoas que você encontra.   Já chega até a ser um clichê, em todas as línguas, mas não deixa de ser verdade. A Guatemala foi um dos países que mais gostei. Não sei se foi ... Read more >

So last night around seven, parades began through the main square for Semana Santa. There were children everywhere dressed up in little purple gowns (it's for Easter, but they looked like they were on their way to Hogwart's!), swinging smoking lanterns, ... Read more >

Fri, 1 Apr 2011 | By disorientednomad | Views [936]

  One day, I was looking at the "1,000 places to go before you die" book, and I saw Tikal.  I thought, "I want to go there" so I asked my parents (I was visiting them at the time) if anyone wanted to go for my 30th birthday.  My ... Read more >

Country #2.........Guatemala..or getting there

Tue, 4 Nov 2008 | By heywoods1976 | Views [798] | Comments [1]

I was right to be concerned about getting in to Guatemala - not because of the border crossing itself - there is no information, but following other people and a bit of ear-wigging it became quite clear, but because of the logisitics issues on either ... Read more >

T2C--The Hill Behind Our House

Sat, 2 May 2009 | By tom_moench | Views [367]

For some more T2C training I took on this hillside behind our house but I don't know what it is called. From what I could pick up it is probably around 8,000 ft at the top and overlooks Xela at 7,500 feet below. For my birthday Mateo took me up it, ... Read more >
