on to the Rio Dulce and Livingston

We are leaving Flores today. The last two days we went to go see some Mayan ruin sites in, La Blanca, Yaxha, and Tikal. Tikal was awesome, the others were interesting as well but much of what was there is still buried under vegetation so you pretty much have to imagine what it looked like. Tikal´s temples were huge and we got to climb up a few of them. We also got to see some spider monkeys, howler monkeys and a few Tucans. We have now had our fill of ancient history for a bit and we are going down south east, to the carribean coast, to a place called Livingston. Livingston is populated with Garifuna´s which are basically descendants of a slave ship that wrecked somewhere long ago and they have since spread down the coast. There is also a river that you have to travel on to get to the town that is called Rio Dulce which is supposed to be very beautiful. Most likely next we will be heading to Honduras to become certified SCUBA divers, that is going to be really fun. Other than that, we have done most of what we wanted to do in the area so who knows what happens after that. We are having a good time still though so, we are not worried about getting bored quite yet. Over and out.
