Finally in Tikal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning all and welcome to Flores! This is the message we received, in Spanish of course, when we arrived at our hotel. La Casona de la isla is amazingly beautiful and is located on an island. Here in Flores we are surrounded by a beautiful river that is miles long and beautiful at every angle. We finally have a chance to swim so every other hour is spent in the pool or river!
Tikal is one experience I am grateful for but will never do it again. The rain forest is crawling with wildlife, but for me, too much life! The insects were viciously attacking me on every visible inch of my flesh! We witness spider monkeys at play and hollering monkeys hollering. LOL! I got the chance to see a Toucan and many other beautiful birds. Did you know that there are over 200 species of animals in the rain forest and about 380 species of birds also? Leaving you with food for thought, time to pack and head back on our plane to Antigua.

Hasta Luego!
