i LOVE your livingston pics - livingston was one of my favorite places the last time i traveled there for various reasons - it is, in many ways, a very colorful place! i stopped there to rest and recuperate after being wracked with amoebic dystentary for a bit...once i felt better i made my way to the seven altars with a local. they're really, really beautiful (or at least they were six years ago) with the sunlight coming through the jungle canopy and the colors of the pools. the water's kind of cold, but the biggest pool is about fifteen feet deep and swimmable (and we did!)...
if you're going to be in livingston they're worth checking out. i'm returning to central america soon with no plans and no time frame - not sure if i'll make it back there or not but i'd LIKE to.
