Rio Dulce

After hopping over the border into Guatemala, Evan and I went to the headwaters of the Rio Dulce.

It was a nice, warm day at the river.

Many sailboat owners moor around Rio Dulce to protect them from storms.

After our tour around the Rio Dulce headwaters, we headed down the river to Livingston.  The night before we headed south, we were treated to a wonderful Christmas Eve fireworks spectacular.  For almost three hours the entire town came alive as if it were in the middle of a war zone.  Massive explosions and bursts of colors rang out in every direction.  Evan and I hunkered down with a couple of other tourists at the hotel bar where we hoped that we wouldn’t be killed by stray fireworks.  If you ever wondered what being in the middle of a fireworks show was like, go to Rio Dulce for Christmas Eve.
