Another fantastic day...no travelling! But that's not accurate, we travelled but we didn't drive! We left Nana Juana (google it) by boat and travelled along the river for several hours, stopping here and there to admire the flora and fauna, passing many small inhabited island villages, to the carribean and Livingston, a large town you can get to only by water....
We lunched and shopped..... purchased a Jade necklace with a silver Quetzel on it for 150 Quetzels.....$18 american, made by a german man who has become a local. Also bought an over-blouse, hand made and embroidered, at a womans co-operative. The native women wear them and they are beautiful....maybe I'll wear it too.....and ofcourse be beautiful!
I will be bunching up the next few days....we'll be crossing the border tomorrow into Honduras and dry camping in more Mayan ruin parking lots...we think, not too sure on this one apparently!

ReplyDeleteGlad to see you are supporting the local economy, Franny! Sounds like a great trip.
ReplyDeleteI finished knitting my first pair of socks yesterday, and thought of you as I slipped them on for the very first time. I'm not sure I'm quite ready to start pair #2 yet, but I do have some yummy yarn waiting...
Enjoy the warmth, we are hunkered in by the fire this morning!
I did google it! what an amazing landscape;it looks quite tempting as we sit here shivering and getting colder! at least the sun is shining. Thanks for sharing; hope Pamela is shopping, too....you WILL look beauteous in your embroidered tunic; they are lovely. Oh! do you know somebody in Tucson, AZ who might have been attending Garrison Keillor's show Sat. night? because there was a greeting to "Fran, who is in SA; come home soon!" is that YOU??? hugs, Diana
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're having a good time! The Quetzal sounds pretty beautiful!
