Down and on the road (continued ... finally)

This post is continued from below...

Howler Monkeys from the crypt

Yet another popular video, the one below is from the same trip as the clip before it (see Vacay!! ... Peace Corps style and Pictures, as promised, Nov. 2008). After volunteering at the animal rescue center, we took a day and went up to the ruins of Tikal, a Guatemalan national treasure. Here we were exposed to some of the very animals for which we had cared. I swear upon all that is sacred, what you hear in this clip comes from a monkey that is on average no more than three feet tall and weighs no more than 22 lbs. Here's a picture of one and a graphic depicting its relative size to humans. Just ignore the watermark on the video. I downloaded a trial version of a media converter to cut the clip from another video that was too large to post.

Vacation in paradise

The next clip is of the beach where my friend Ashleigh and I stayed in Tulum, Mexico the week before Thanksgiving, 2008 (see Peace Corps life is tough and Photos of Palenque and Tulum, Nov. 2008). Our little cabin was less than fifty yards from the spot where I'm taking the video.

A big effing hole

That's pretty much what the final video of my travels captures. I did a day trip with some friends and we hiked out to a huge sink hole near Jacal (see Diversión, September 6, 2009). We went. We threw rocks. We ate and we left. It was a pretty awesome day.

Peace out,

Kristina
