Pre-honeymoon Cruising (Guatemala-Last Days at Sea)

Mitch and I set sail on December 26 - January 2 on our 7- Day Caribbean New Years Cruise. The cruise included a day at sea, Key West, Puerto Cortes, Honduras, Puerto San Tomas de Castillo, Guatemala, a day at sea, Costa Maya, Mexico, and a final day at a sea. Due to some rocky waters we missed going to Key West and Costa Maya. We did one excursion and an impromptu one visiting small villages in Guatemala only accessible by boat via the Lake of Izabal, climbing through caves, and tasting local food, and visiting the town of Livingston. It was quite the cultural experience. Below are pics from Guatemala and our last days at sea.
