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 >

It has been a couple of weeks since I've blogged, so sorry about that. We haven't really doing any exciting travel so I though that I'd just combine the last 2 weeks in one blog. The lab work has finally come to an end and we are now at the feast in ... Read more >

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]

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 >
