| ============================================== CAPTURED IN MEXICO AND CENTRAL AMERICA! A photo diary of a 343 day, 16,000+ mile RV trip. (193 pages, 8.5x11" format with large photos) This book "CAPTURED IN MEXICO AND CENTRAL AMERICA! - A Photo Diary of a 343 day, 16,000+ mile RV Trip" has been floating around in my mind since the publication of my first book. I've selected 175 of my favorite photos from my 343 day, 16,000+ mile RV trip. There are 151 Chapters. Each Chapter is one 8.5 x 11 page with a photograph and associated dialog. Where space permits, some chapters have two photos. They are chronically correct, presented in the order they occurred. You will also find nine maps identifying our route and flags from all eight countries. This 193 page book presents our trip in a "like a rock skipping across a lake format". Touching down at unique locations without bogging you down with the 94,000 word edition of Panama or Bust - A 343 day adventure in a motorhome! Perfect for a light and easy visual ride on a "once in a lifetime experience!" I find myself greatly pleased with the result. I believe this photo diary does a great job of visually presenting some of our many countless experiences in these eight countries. I trust you will agree! Click here for more information |

| This was one of our more interesting experiences of the trip. People come from all-over Guatemala to the small mountain village of Zunil which is at the bottom of a steep-sided valley. You have to drive a long way down hill to get to this remote location which is at an elevation of about 8,000 feet! They come to visit the Idol San Simon, aka Maximon,and to beg his favors for help with their problems. People are lined up to the left waiting for their turn to talk to him. |
