  June of 2006 my daughter Sarah and I took a long awaited trip across the Yucatan, visiting Mayan ruins. The last time I had traveled this route was 28 years ago, when I was pregnant with her. She has grown into a wonderful woman, with a compassion for the Mayan people and a gift for photographing landscapes. We visited Izamal, Chitchen,Tulum,Chaa Creek for the medicine trail,and Tikal.Tikal was our favorite. A misty rain fell and the jungle filled with clouds as we floated above it on a temple top.A guard personally escorted us around and with great pride for this sacred place shared its history. The spark of respect and sharing -in Spanish -between my daughter and the guide was a wonderful thing to behold. That night,we slept in hammocks at the Jaguar Inn, under the same mosquito netting my husband and I had used 28 years earlier.Towards the end of our trip at Palenque our camera was picked up,reportedly by one of the guards, but we were unable to get it back, though much dialogue went on that we were unable to follow. We have wonderful memories in our hearts,but miss having pictures of the trip. I have some hope the camera will be sold to someone that will down load the pictures and wonder who we are. No doubt the photos are exceptional. I would love to purchase photos of this area to put together a memoir. Are there sites for this? Linda
