The trip through the mangroves early in the morning was very relaxing. When we started it was very dark and very quiet. As the sun rose the air came alive with sounds of nature. Suddenly animals of all sorts were making sounds, flying, swimming, or jumping. Even the sight of other boats showed that the water way was an important means of transportation in the area of Monterrico, Guatemala. Our guide, Jorge, took us through this little area because I kept saying I wanted to go through the mangroves. The water was so low in this area that we had to help him pull the boat by grabbing onto branches. He said he didn't usually do this for people, but we all had fun. One photo is of Henrieta, Willamjkin and Jorge. The girls have been my travel buddies for a few weeks. The last photo is of some four eyed fish. They were very funny as they would almost skip across the water. They had two eyes that stayed above the water and two eyes under the water. I wish I could have gotten a better photo.
