Rio Dulce

Waterfall swimming area about 1/2 hour micro-bus ride from Rio Dulce
Hotel
The hotel had a cat :)  :)  :)  Cats know cat people.


Pulling up the drawbridge




Mmmm...
Taking a boat to Livingston



The families that live along the river here sell the typical tourist items to those traveling to Livingston.  They send their children out in a boat, and our boat driver slows down to allow them to pull alongside us.
I rarely order fish... this is what happens when I do.  (Tasted good, though!)

Night of the blood moon.

7 Altares.  A series of waterfalls.

They said it was a perfect day to come.  Not flooded with too much rain water, but not dry either.

Do you see me?

Curly hair!  Humidity!
I forgot my camera :(   Kindle pictures it is.
White sand beach at Izabal.
Bridge!

Easter Break, etc.

A bit from school first...

Art Fair
I love Yeseo's "Starry Night" up in the corner!
Talent Show
The teachers perform a dance to "Achy Breaky Heart"!
a ring around the moon.  This must have a name?
Creating Alfombras (sawdust "carpets") at midnight.
in La Merced Ruins. I was so tired, this place was like a dream.

Waiting for the 4 am procession. I believe the original significance to be sitting vigil all night in remembrance of Jesus praying in the garden before His arrest.
Centesima- Running out of the Roman guards at midnight on Good Friday morning.


Alfombras:  This one is from the bread store!


























He is risen!  He is risen indeed!
Easter dinner with some co-workers
Volunteering at an Organic Farm




We had to pick these seeds off the ground.  "Even the smallest job is important." 

And then you get free lettuce and vegetables when you leave!
