Day 2 in Lanquin... wow!

I will have to make this short because of the waiting time for the computer, but Lanquin!!!

It is in the middle of the jungle, and a small village that is close to Semuc Champey.  We are staying at the Zephyr Lodge Hostel.  Open windows and a kitchen and bar here, hammocks to swing in, and beautiful sites around.  My shower was an open window off a cliff that looked out over the jungle hills.  Ahhhh!  I will have to post pictures later after I can upload them.

I hiked and swam for 6 hours today at Semuc Champey, which is a limestone phenomenon!  There is a river that has cut through limestone and roars under the limestone, while there are 7 pools of water from a different source on top.  It is pristine, beautiful, and offers lots of diving off cliffs and bridges, swimming through pools, and ducking under water to find yourself in a cave with just enough room to fit your head.

Tomorrow morning we are headed out to Antigua where we will most likely stay through Christmas time.
