Post of Past Pics II

This is also a post of earlier fotos from Sarahs camera. This is pictures of the first town we stayed at in Gutemala in early February. Its called Flores and its an island in the middle of a huge lake. The beach outside of the hostel we stayed at.

A road running through the island.


Market day + lunch time = fruit salad!




A shot of the island from the bridge that connects it with the mainland.



They were ripping up all the roads on the island so walking around was a little crazy.





The walk on the way to the cave we heard about.






This is the entrance to the cave. It was definitely a unique cave experience as there was no paths and very few lights. We basically just wandered around in this cave for about 4-5 hours exploring any hole we could find.




heres a very basic map of the cave. We were actually trying to navigate by the camera when we were in there haha.



Some pictures in the cave.



There were some fairly large caverns in the cave.
















Sarah!



Now on to the wild life we say in the cave. There were HUGE cockroaches. At least 4 inches long inside. And there were everywhere. A little nerve wracking when in a few spots we had to crawl.



A great picture of Victor.


One of the cooler formations inside.



Isn´t he a CUTIE! Almost put my hand on him. Keep in mind that the bumps on the rock are about as big as my thumb!

  2. Hi Adam, Sorry I haven't responded, it surely wasn't because I wasn't anticipating your pictures. I check daily and really look at them up close. Although I didn't examine the bug very closely. You are braver than I. Please keep us up to date because it is as close as I will get to a real expedition like this one, Love Nanny

  4. Will most certainly foward these pics to the Wind Cave folks. Great idea navigating with the camera (I think). By the way, Dad says that's a scorpion spider - EW!
