The journey to the jungle begins...

It is Sunday morning.  Today we go to Copan. We have been packing at the lab like crazy - equipment personal items, food... The big truck comes today and will leave for camp tomorrow.  After visits to  Copan and Quirigua we will meet the rest of the team in Flores on Wednesday, see Tikal on Thursday and head in on Friday.  As of now it is unclear whether we are going to try to drive in or if we are hiking in with a mule train.  It has continued to ran, and last week trucks weren't making it in.  I can't post photos of everything stacked up in the parqueo this morning, because the internet is too slow to upload them and and things are too hectic to wait - gotta pack up the computers.  I will try later this week.

  1. Mule train! I vote mule train!!!! I'm sure it is a lot more inconvenient than driving in, but what an adventure! In fact, can you arrange a mule train for me when I come visit? :-)
