They were far too close to the ledge as far as Iwas concerned. We were very, very high. Crystel being a spider monkey. My day was complete when we saw some. Carlos is cheering her on.

There she goes.

Like I said, we were very, very high and I told the children to get down right away.

Well, after one more quick picture.

Jody and Antonio doing homework. We brought it along. And actually the kids were okay with it and looked forward to it. It was a great way to pass the time waiting for our meal. We always threw our leftover buns/bread to the crocodiles. Some better than others.

A turtle shell for a faucet. I needed to help Antonio in the mens bathroom to assure him that all was well. This made us both jump. I wasn't sure that it wasn't alive at first. A great thing to do with turtle shells though turtle soup wasn't on the menu.

The crocodile looking for a child or bread. Climbing the steps in Tikel. In the foreground is our awesome driver Carlos. He was our driver, our bodyguard, our market talker, and our guide.

Antonio was excited and flabbergasted that George handed him the controls. Often the Guatemalans treated Antonio as the 'man' of the party. I think in Guatemala at eight years old you can be the 'man' of the house. We also used Antonio for translating for us. So he appeared to be the 'man'. Zooming away from the island.

Crystel does get a chance, too. As well as Jody and I.

Crystel, Antonio, and George. Hmmm. I wonder who is driving.

Now Antonio is at the head of the boat. That was fun as well.

Jody and Crystel on the boat. We are taking the boat across the Lake to the Zoo. And there it is.

That's our boat sitting out in the water.

This might be the only animal I post. You can barely see it. Look in the middle of the picture for the Tiger. The zoo was great. We enjoyed seeing it. The boat ride was awesome. Our tour guide was actually George our boat person. This is a picture of us looking down from the zoo. We certainly would go again.

Walking up high. The trail.

Everything seems big in Guatemala. Big spiders. Big palms. Big mountains.

Looking at Flores from a boat.

And the Guatemalan's say it's not going to rain.

On the high bridge on the way to Tikel. It was either this or the zip line. Crystel taking a break. It was a long way up.

Antonio was fearsome.

I think we are at the top.

The hammock was the place to be. A front picture of Finca Ixobel.

The suspension bridge. It was this or the zip line.

There we be. Up so high.
