On the Caribbean

After traveling south from Tikal, we took a boat down the Rio Dulce to Livingston on the Caribbean. The boat ride was beautiful with mangrove forest on the edges, abundant bird life, and rolling hills and cliffs. Brown pelicans, great egret, cormorants, and more. There are no roads in this area, only water traffic. All products and people travel vis the Rio Dulce and ocean. We saw young kids paddling the river on small dugout canoes. We are staying in a somewhat low end place called the Iguana Inn. An open are palapa cafe with rustic cabins around it. Our slatted walls keep out some elements but not the late night bar scene and bugs. But the fan on high helped with both. Forest and I are off to explore the area today with Jono does some work from home.
