Back from Guatemala and Belize 
January 9-20, 2008
We were greeted in Guatemala and Belize this January with some wonderful warm weather. As we learned a great deal about the Mayan culture from our guides in each country, several of our group took the opportunity to climb a couple of the huge ruins. We also climbed a steep trail to see the very active Pacaya Volcano with molten lava flowing not far away. We enjoyed relaxing both seaside and at beautiful Lake Atitlan. The turtle hatchery tour was very interesting as they explained their hatching and release to the sea. Plus we visited some wonderful markets…some touristy and others the real places where local people purchase their food and other necessities. Having experienced 90+ degrees our final day, we were then greeted by the -20 degree assault upon our return…back to reality in Wisconsin! And we wonder why we travel???
