Guatemala Trip Photo Album and Videos

Below is a digital version of a photo book featuring a small selection of photos (from about 800 snapped) with minimal commentary from our trip to visit Megan April 17-27.




I also have divided the videos in four short segments, available below. My video camera was lost to a pickpocket on our first evening in Guatemala. That is the bad news. The good news was I therefore did not lose much of what I shot. It would have been much  more stressful if it had happened near the end of the trip. (Megan did warn us of pickpockets, but I thought I had it covered. I must compliment the perpetrator on his skill. On the other hand, any buyer of the hot camera will need to find a battery charger for it--not cheap. Perhaps the real value was the 16 gb SD card it used). Nonetheless, I did start off-loading the files from my remaining camera to Megan's tablet each night as a backup against any future mishaps. A word for the wise--or careless.
