Boating? (06/26/11)

As much appreciated by all of us, our bus ride to El Faro was uneventful minus the beautiful Guatemalan landscape! We got off the bus in Puerto Barrios, Guatemala and loaded into two boats to cross the Caribbean Sea to cut down on travel time to El Faro so we could eat and prepare for the kids arrival.

"We're taking a boat!"

We were all so excited until the rainy season greeted us at the docks. [Insert dark clouds, winds, huge rain drops, thunder, and lightning.] We waited for most of the storm to die down before we left, but because it was still raining, our drivers we gracious enough to provide us with a huge black tarp to cover ourselves with as we splashed through the waves. Unfortunately...the tarps were not as effective as we would have liked them to be. The log rides at most amusements parks had nothing on this boat ride. We all ended up SOAKED!
