Speeding down the Rio Dulce to Livingston!

I hopped on the Linea Dorada bus line that connects Flores to the Rio Dulce. The journey was about 3 hours much shorter than I expected. I arrived in the Rio Dulce around 1 pm. Here, I was swamped by a bunch of dudes from tour agency companies offering a tour of the Rio Dulce which is a river that dumps out into the Carribean Sea. With plans to head downstream to Livingston a reggae beach town on the banks of the carribean sea i opted for the tour. The speed boat ride down the rio dulce was amazing. It was a nice trip and the view of jungle lined trees scattered with indigenous flora and fauna was simply breathtaking. We even sped through Lilypads hundred of them and I got some fabulous pictures. Hopefully i´ll post them soon. Finally we stoped at the bank of one part of the river to explore some thermal springs fed by sulpur pockets in the earth. The water was piping hot and given the heat and humidity i opted not to plunge in. Alas, we spent at high speeds to the junction where the Rio dulce dumps into the Carribean sea. This is livingston. The people here resemble islanders or jamaicans even have the same accent. apparently they are a set of people that inhabited this area during the slave trade. They totally look african america and not even guatemalan. Guatemala is just an amazing country. people are so different from region to region and that exactly i love about it. I´m always suprised at each place i visit I checked into a hostel called the hostel iguana. We got a cool group of ppl living there, and i think we might just get down and dirty tonight with plenty of cervezas, music and good food. The plan for tomm is to go on a jungle tour whree i will explore the flora and fauna of this area, explore the culture of the indigenous ppl a bit, and then end by relaxing on the beach and catch some rays.
