    Some steep roads around here... although I don't know what's going on with the
         		 Everything looked silvery in the mist and rain, so even though we couldn't see far, what we could see was beautiful!: by alpiner84, Views[535]
         		 What a stellar view!: by alpiner84, Views[547]
         		 Jordan and Adam, with whom I climed Volcan San Pedro. : by alpiner84, Views[711]
         		 A major landslide came down the side of Volcan San Pedro a couple years ago, wiping out a large portion of the town. Very tragic, but geomorphologically interesting! : by alpiner84, Views[546]
     
    Another rainy day...: by alpiner84, Views[601]
         		 The view of Lago Atitlan on a rainy day. : by alpiner84, Views[487]
         		 Leaving Lanquin, I figured it was time for a photo with the bike in Guatemala. : by alpiner84, Views[550]
         		 Kittens!!!: by alpiner84, Views[532]
         		 And there goes Matthew! The swimming and scenery only got better after this (hard to believe!) but the camera had to be left behind. : by alpiner84, Views[574]
     
    My friend Rebeka jumping into the topmost pool. : by alpiner84, Views[608]
         		 The pools on top of the natural bridge are huge, deep and cool. Hooray!: by alpiner84, Views[653]
         		 Where the water disappears beneath the natural limestone bridge. Don't slip! You will never be seen again. : by alpiner84, Views[554]
         		 The group of us. : by alpiner84, Views[532]
         		 Me and the pools. Excited to get down there and swim!: by alpiner84, Views[496]
     
    The town of Lanquin is the base for accessing the amazing natural pools of Semuc Champey. : by alpiner84, Views[2593]
         		 I was able to pitch my hammock for $2 a night, and this was the view from it on a rainy day. Not too shabby!: by alpiner84, Views[471]
         		 The hangout at the Zephyr Lodge in Lanquin. Sweet place to stay! : by alpiner84, Views[871]
         		 But I made it safe and sound to the hostel, where furry animals and friends awaited me!: by alpiner84, Views[567]
         		 ...and the road got nicer, but then worse...: by alpiner84, Views[519]
     
    ...and prettier...: by alpiner84, Views[444]
         		 And then the road became dirt and rock...but even prettier...: by alpiner84, Views[458]
         		 After that, the drive just got prettier and prettier...: by alpiner84, Views[446]
         		 Awaiting the ferry to cross the unexpected river on the road south from Flores.: by alpiner84, Views[525]
         		 Hiking out. Not quite as clean and fresh as we had been...: by alpiner84, Views[582]
     
    Sunset on our second-to-last night, as seen from the top of Tigre Temple. Tigre means jaguar, by the way. : by alpiner84, Views[569]
         		 Sam's happy about being on top of Temple de Tigre! Who wouldn't be? The view is incredible. : by alpiner84, Views[644]
         		 Sam and I climbed a tower while the others rested on the stuccoed and tourist-friendly steps of Temple 34, the only one to be stuccoed so tourists can climb on it. Don't worry, the stucco is there to protect the original ruins, and there's a layer of plastic between the rock and the stucco. : by alpiner84, Views[558]
         		 Super-cool carvings being excavated from inside the water temple. They tell the story of two brothers, twins, who ventured to the underworld to retrieve their father, who was killed because he lost a ball game. They received their advice from their grandmother, who's spirit resided in a massive bird, and they borrowed the powers of the dragon-bird god to get into the underworld. : by alpiner84, Views[647]
         		 This was really cool...inside their indoor-reservoir, where all the coolest carvings were, they had a weir. Well, at least that's what it resembled most. Water from the reservoir flowed out through these little gaps in the dam. : by alpiner84, Views[332]
     
    These howler monkeys appeared to be as curious about us as we were about them. Until they starting trying to poop on us. : by alpiner84, Views[329]
         		 What time is it? Oh, yes, hammock time. Ahh.: by alpiner84, Views[295]
         		 Matthew being a monkey.: by alpiner84, Views[318]
         		 Peering down into the dense jungle we've been walking through for three days. : by alpiner84, Views[303]
         		 The view from the top. Yes, all these views look the same, but this one is from the higest point!: by alpiner84, Views[468]
     
    Our guide through the jungle, a local Mayan named Alex. He has lived here for his whole life, and is more in tune with jungle life than anyone I've ever met. Even better, he's really passionate about conservation and archeology. And, even better, he's a super-cool, funny, sarcastic and spunky guy!: by alpiner84, Views[516]
         		 Matthew on top of Danta.: by alpiner84, Views[538]
         		 Sam exploring a ways down the massive staircase.: by alpiner84, Views[445]
         		 Looking good on top of the center of the Mayan world!: by alpiner84, Views[545]
         		 Sneer...: by alpiner84, Views[620]
     
    Summit of Danta temple. : by alpiner84, Views[1641]
         		 Walk like a .... Mayan?: by alpiner84, Views[504]
         		 ...like giant scary masks! : by alpiner84, Views[472]
         		 The excvavations are unearthing some pretty cool stuff...: by alpiner84, Views[400]
         		 Hiking up to Danta. : by alpiner84, Views[415]
     
    One of the more excavated pyramids (still doesn't look close to this, though). It's absolutely massive. All of Tikal's main plaza including temples could fit in the patio of this one temple. : by alpiner84, Views[480]
         		 Okay, so Mirador doesn't really look like this. Take this picture, and cover it with yards of dirt and an entire forest, and you'll get a better idea. : by alpiner84, Views[428]
         		 Alex took us into a tomb with bats. Then we found three spiders the size of our palms. I don't remember much after than other than panic, fear, adreneline, and a bruise on my shin from running into a step. : by alpiner84, Views[443]
         		 One of our pack animals, Twitchy, was bitten by a vampire bat overnight. : by alpiner84, Views[485]
         		 Sunset at the end of day one. : by alpiner84, Views[425]
