I finally sat down to look at all your wonderful photos! (My own camera took very blurred pics!) It was so nice to relive those locales. ...I've written the story of Chacl, Jaguar Boy, an Olmec who is taken to a Mayan city to learn their wisdom and ways, to return to his village to become their leader. Want to read it? Ray (Memphis)

Ron, Your pictures are fabulous - I was on the same trip and I look at these and think how did you do that. I especially liked the children's parade in Merida - their facial expressions are priceless. Thanks so much for sharing. Mary
