Heading to the Pacific

 Stopped to take this picture.  Famous mountain???  but it is a face.  Very seeable when you are there.
 This is the back side of Fuego,  can see a bit how much it is rock at the top,  where the lava has burned all the growth. 
 First beach we went too.   Not to pleasant.  (clean)   and the ocean was dirty.
 The front boy didn't show up???  but they were collecting  firewood.  And not happy together!!.  But collecting firewood is a huge part of the lives of many Guatemalans.
 About an hour into the trip  starting seeing many thatched roof homes.   None around where we are.
 Stopped at a alligator farm.  Many can see them here.   Not a fancy place  but they were proud of it.
Not sure where the alligators go when they grow up though
 Another thatched roof home.
 On our return trip, Alejandro asked if we wanted to go back short cut, by boat.   This is the boat!!
I was wary, but Ian was tickled., water man that he is.   Takes two  cars. so we loaded and waited for  second car and off we went.
 Gorgeous Jungle river.   trees right down to the water.   Many cranes along the way, only wildlife we saw
 This a people boat,  going from one village to the next.
 A crane at the dock.
Ian dragging his feet in the water!  Was quite clean actually.
