Jungle fever

The last couple of days we have been puttering along the Guatemalan border, visiting misty cloud rain forest, where we have seen gigantic trees covered with ferns, bromeliads and orchids. The best way to see orchids in bloom is when branches fall to the ground. Many times several species grow within inches on the same branch. We have also seen a large, orange roadside dendrobium that grows and blooms abundantly.

Another week in the jungle before we hit Palenque and San Cristobal. Life is good.
