Food that reminded us of home, a precious natural swimming hole, friendly locals and the hottest country in Central America.

That time we skinny-dipped in the ocean, bathed in a waterfall and got soaked in a rainstorm. Butterflies, sloths, crocodiles, monkeys and a visit from Erin's family.

Cycling almost 200 miles on dirt roads through the Nicoya Peninsula. How many crocodile rivers can we cross in 15 days?

 Three beautiful colonial cities, an active volcano and that time we almost adopted a dog in the land of fire and water.

Five beach towns we loved in El Salvador and the back roads of Honduras.  Also: watermelon season.

Forty days and forty nights with the Maya.
