10 days on the Gringo Trail - Panama to Guatemala
The surprising Panama City skyline
It's very hard not to visit the Panama Canal, I tried my best but I ended up here anyway.
A Night in Managua - From Panama City to El Salvador I traveled with an amazing group of Christian missionaries who are on a round the world mission trip. A sketch artist drew us all as we had dinner in a Managua taco shack.
Hey Ortega's back! Now that the CIA has it's hands full in the Middle East, Latin American countries are able to elect Leftist leaders in free and fair democratic elections with minimal interference from the United States. The poor of the world rise up indeed!
Street tamales in San Salvador, 5 tamales for $1. Awesome!
The Basilica of Esquipulas in Guatemala. Pilgrims come here from miles around to see the famous Black Jesus - El Cristo Negro!
There is plenty of street food in Esquipulas to feed the throngs of pilgrims. I had these really good tamales for breakfast.
The Mayan ruins of Copan in Honduras
Copan is most famous for it carvings, especially this Hieroglyphic Stairway
The Temple of the Inscriptions
A Scarlet Macaw poses for photos atop the ruins, high above the jungle.
Antigua Guatemala, a charming little grid at the foot of a few very imposing volcanoes
More delicious tamales on the street in Antigua
Declarations of gratitude posted around the tomb of a holy man at the Iglesia de San Francisco. Very similar to the walls of the Stone Gate in Zagreb

I am so extremely jealous you have no idea.
And that second HDR image needs some work.
I guess it's the 3rd image. The one of the church.
And I quickly spotted you in the drawing!
Don't be jealous it was just a sampler trip. Now I know where to go to do it right (basically just Nicaragua). If I ever go back, then you can be jealous.
I like that you corrected yourself and said the 3rd HDR image. I tried to throw some subtle HDRs in there with the more obvious ones.
I changed the church photo. But I really wanted something more dramatic
Here is another
choice
And the
first one
My issue is where the clouds meet the trees. If the sky and clouds were the same tone across the whole sky, that would be better. Right now, in all the images, the trees seem to 'glow'. Some more so than others.
