Guatemala
scanned slides... photos by either Melinda Ardia or me
We went from Belize to Tikal. This has to be one of the finest places in the world to visit. Incredible mystifying temple complex enormous in scale that makes you think deeply about culture and technology. And... incredible birding, especially from the tops of temples.
View from the famed Temple IV.
The best part is you get to spend your sunrises and sunset with dozens of your favorite friends and strangers
On the backside of Temple IV is a narrow ledge, up above we found a pair of nesting of bat falcons. A true wildlife highlight (much cooler than the ocelot sighting behind a restaurant)
Melinda and a Ceiba tree.
Antigua. A gem of a city.
Don't spend one moment in Guatemala City
The market at Quetzaltenango
