Here is just a few pictures that never made it into the post in Journeys so I thought I would just put them in a quick post here.

I spent some good time on this dock swimming and just lounging about with a good book.

Another one of me..since there arent so many. :) Sitting outside the house of "Fat Man" where he sold chocolate covered bananas and pineapple for 1 queztal. Or about 15 cents.

Taking a night boat to go visit our friend David in the hospital. He was mugged and pushed over a wall.

We (Paul, his wife Winky, and I) took a horse riding tour through the countryside. It was a real fun time.

The town of Flores through the trees. This Guatemalan town reminds me a lot of Spanish or Italian towns.

and one last one of this really beautiful lake. The water always seemed so calm.

    Nice shots of a place I've never seen!

    Re: the dock, you always end up defying gravity in some way, even if there aren't any mountains in the immediate vicinity. :D
