I have posted our photos from our February trip at www.thorsgaard.shutterfly.com I hope it works. It's the first time we've tried "sharing" photos on line. so we'll see.

Oops, I forgot to take out the blurb meant for our friends and family. Just ignore that.

Lisa & Paul,
I loved the cave photos! They all are great shots. The fire ant bites brought back not so great memories. I learned my lesson. They hurt like hell don't they? There is a thread on this board about fire ants. I started it after my experience. There is a lot of informative information if you are interested. You might just want to forget it though!
Thanks for sharing your trip. It made me smile.

How bittersweet...We stayed at Cap'n Ron's Paradise Villas the week after you did and your pictures sure brought back memories! Thank you for sharing them. Our photos and trip report will be coming soon

how was the trip into the cave?, i think this is the same cave my family and i went in about 3 years ago, it was a really long drive through the jungle in the back of a pickup to get there. we passed through a rock querry (where the mine marble). did you seen any of this?

Yep, it sounds like the same caves. It was a long bumpy ride. We didn't have to sit in the back, though. I do remember a quarry and also about 2500 acres of fruit trees.

The cave was cool. It was really cool to see the Mayan artifacts, which for some reason I didn't take any pictures of.

Great pics! Thanks for sharing! Newbies should definitely take a peek at your pics! You got all of the "hot spots"!

GREAT pics....

yep the cave was really cool, saw the mayan skull siting up on the ledge, and numerous artifacts, it was a really neat cave water only about 3 feet deep clear and cold, it was a good hour or so trip into the cave, and then you have to stop because it can;t be accessable from canoe anymore, but our guide said that it continues on for many more miles. we also went through a "minanite" village .

Great photos - way better than mine!! - looks like we did the same route and even stayed in some of the same hotels!!! Your Tikal photos are especially good!

Super photos! What camera did you use? Looks like your weather was fine, too.

I just bought a new Canon Powershot S80 right before we left for vacation (which was actually pretty stupid). Luckily my pics turned out okay. I have a few things I need to work on. Glad to hear everyone thought they were good.

We lucked out on weather. We were in San Ignacio during the cold rainy days on A.C. We only had 1 day of rain, our 2nd day, on A.C. and 1 night of rain on the mainland. Knock on wood.

Beautiful Pictures! Really enjoyed them.

You and your S80 did a fine job: artist's eye + steady hand + fine camera = wonderful photos.

I love the Canon PowerShot family of cameras. My first digitals were the A60 and S1 IS. I just got a tiny new SD450 Elph, so small I can always have it with me, in a pocket or my purse. We'll see how it goes for AC photos when I'm back in May. (Can't wait!)

Gorgeous pictures! I just sent you a private message.

Your photos were the best, they were very, very informational. Thank you for sharing them.
