A bird

There's so much vegetation here, but it's weird because you don't hear many birds.  (This is in stark contrast to what I heard in Belize city.)  This video is when I heard a rather odd sounding bird.

Looking for a waterfall

This day Tolman and I went for a hike with the scouts up a creek bed where we were hoping to see a waterfall at the end.

This is where the waterfall should have been... and probably is now as I write this post, but we just went a little too early so there wasn't enough water pouring down the hills.  Bummer.

BTW, can you spot Tolman here?

How about here?

Yes, that's much easier... he's definitely in his element.



The following 5 pics are from a ruin we found along the way.  There are no longer any houses or people living right here by the river.

These are small holes where for beams for the flooring, now totally gone.

This was a wall on the other side of the building, so I'm standing where they redirected the river and they probably had a water wheel here.

This is a short wall and on the other side is a very small room... probably a latrine area.   (So we used it.  :-)

It rained before we finished, so this is Tolman and me, soaked (taken from a camera inside a plastic bag).

 While Tolman and I were hiking, Thomas had his World Cup soccer day... the last day of their soccer season, where his team represented Japan.  His team won all three games.  Awesome.
