I like this picture. These are the kids who live behind my house and ask about 100 times a day if they can paint a picture using my colors.
This is Señor Santana Arcia, my hiking partner/guide in Barrigón. He knows where to find golden frogs, mountains covered with primary forest (hence the machete...you have to cut your own path) and he also has the best environmental ethic of anyone in my town.
How´s this for a Coca Cola advertisement? Never mind that most kids have rotting teeth by the time they´re in kindergarten.
This might possibly be the best swimming hole in our province.

Ann, these photos and your captions for these photos are amazing. I miss you and hopefully the stuff I sent w/Gina arrived safely and didn't get stolen by a baggage claim worker like a bunch of my stuff when I flew to Guatemala. Even though you haven't written any books yet, you are tied w/James Joyce as my favorite author. Love, Matt Horning
I was wondering if you would recommend visiting La Rica and if so should we contact the navas family?
How long a hike is it really? and did you take all of the shots in barrigon? what about the swimming hole? my husband and I are taking our 2 year old and would like to know more about the area. We live at high altitude and hike a lot carring our boy so we should be Ok.
I would love to hear from you.
