Still hanging in there...

Greetings to all.

So how do you possibly explain sucking at blogging? You don´t. I realize my faults, but I´m gonna keep on going on with this thing. Now that I´ve had a string of visitors to the Guatebuena, maybe it´s a little more clear:

¨I do not live in the jungle, sway from a hammock day to day, with a book in hand.¨ I am busy, hence the lack of blogs....

It´s time for pictures from the 3 fabulous vacations. From the 9th of Feb to the 19th of April I had (I counted because I can) 7 nights without having a visitor. Crazy. Here we go...

Trip 1. The month of February had my friend from college Nicole come visit. We went up to the jungle, off the gringo trail, tubed through caves, jumped off a 20ft. waterfall, and climbed the volcano. Here are the shots:

Trip 2. After February wrapped up I had 2 of my buddies from Cal Poly show up, Alex and Collin. This was the 3rd time travelling with Alex (my former roommate at SLO) and my 2nd time with Collin (never a roommate but pretty much was).

Beware - these photos are quite amazing...

An amazing shot of Alex jumping in mid-air

Getting ready to swing out over the river

Me on the rope swing...yes the water is that turquoise. It´s also perfect temperature. Jealous?

Collin doing a flip over me at Semuc Champey. This place is limestone pools where you swim down from one to the other.

Just because this picture is too funny

Trip 3. The family came and visited. Every single one of them, the parents, Tony and G$ and Tim. Here they are:

The families...Ones big (in size) and the other´s big (in height)

That´s all people. Lots of pictures. Enjoy those hot showers!
