| In January of 2008 Jane and I traveled for three weeks in northern Central America. As is my habit, I wrote a report of our adventures, and sent it home as a series of emails. This site gathers those reports and the pictures I took. The reader is cautioned generally against believing too much of what is found on the web . . . . |
