August 22, 2005
Well, we’re still in the Rio Dulce and still having a great time. Last week our new digital camera arrived. We had our mail forwarding service in Texas send it to us along with some other boat parts. Unfortunately our package was held by customs in Guatemala City which required a trip to the city. We had to show our boat paperwork and convince them that everything was a replacement part for the boat (including the camera) to avoid the high customs duties. Evidently all the paperwork was in order and we received our package duty free.

The camera we purchased is a Canon Powershot S2, and it’s one heck of a camera! All of the digital camera review web sites had given it high praises and I can see why. So keeping in tradition I had to spend a lot of time playing and experimenting with my new toy and have added two new photo galleries of shots around the marina. These were all taken with our new camera. The first gallery is of the different plant life around the marina, the second gallery is of people and boats.
