Dick here! I thought it might be fun to share my globetrotting with all of you through my images. So, with a little help from the magic of technology, I am thrilled to present my wanderings!
In Early 2010, I flew to Cancun Mexico where I met my friend Lillian, who had flown in from California. We spent the night in Cancun central, and took a bus to Merida the following morning, We stayed in the Hotel Grande, what a neat place! The first day in Merida, we took a tour to Uxmal. The next day we took a tour to the port of Progresso. The third day we spent wandering Merida, visiting the museums, and riding in horse drawn carraiges. On the Fourth day we took a tour to Chichen Itza.
In October 2009 I flew to Quito Ecuador and spent a few days doing the middle of the world and cable car ride. Then, I flew to the Galapagos and took a 5 day/4 night cruise on the Queen of the Galapagos. Upon my return to Quito, I was not feeling well, and was experiencing some equilibrium problems, so I decided to fly home rather than continue on to Peru as I had planned.
On Thursday, January 11, 2007, Bruce, and Marcia and I left for Lima, Peru. We transferred planes in Atlanta, and then on to Lima, arriving in the middle of the night, about 1:00 a.m. (more)

I flew into Mexico City and bused to Cuernavaca. Stayed at Carolina's house for 5 days and used it as a base for the whole trip. First I went to Taxco for 5 days. Then back to Carolina's. Then I went to Puebla for a week. Then it was on to Oaxaca for a week. As part of my time in each place I made side trips to local villages and sites. The petrified waterfall (Hierve el Agua) near Oaxaca was amazing. After a last stop at Carolina's, I bused back to the airport.
These
photos are from a photography class taken with the Art
workshops in La Antigua, Guatemala. A few of the pictures were taken
by other students in the class but I am not sure which ones they are,
or who took them, but I will gladly give credit should any of them contact
me. All the lake pictures are of Lake Atitlan where we stayed in Panjachel.
After the class was over, I stayed in Guatemala for awhile and went to
Tikal by myself.
My friend Bill had a VW bus that he wanted at his condo in Akamal Mexico.
He offered me gas and insurance money, the use of the on the beach condo for a week, and airfare back for a friend and I if we wanted to drive it down there. (more)
