These trees look so cool
Date: 02/20/08
There is an eagle up there!
Date: 02/20/08
The eagles knew a few tricks...
Date: 02/20/08
When the guide whistled, he threw a fish in the water for him...

There were hundreds of them!
Date: 02/20/08
What a cool site
Date: 02/20/08
I am imitating part of the flamingo mating dance
Date: 02/20/08
They look so far away, but it was still impressive
Date: 02/20/08
Flamingo footprints
Date: 02/20/08
The larvae the Flamingos eat give the water this color
Date: 02/20/08
You can't tell, but this clay ground is slimy and slippery
Date: 02/20/08
Jodi and Jo brave the salt pools
Date: 02/20/08
It was so salty that we were completely buoyant! Floating with no effort at all
Date: 02/20/08
Jodi looks like she's enjoying it
Date: 02/20/08
More floating
Date: 02/20/08
Well I can't miss this! It's shallow and muddy down here
Date: 02/20/08
Maybe you can't tell, but we are really just floating without any effort!
Date: 02/20/08
I'm trying to swim towards Jodi
Date: 02/20/08
For a salty kiss
Date: 02/20/08
Pretend I have a magazine...Just lounging
Date: 02/20/08
Looks like Jodi just tasted how salty it was
Date: 02/20/08
This is pretty sweet!
Date: 02/20/08
We're working on our synchronized swimming routine
Date: 02/20/08
Ok, Jodi, time to get out before your skin shrivels up!
Date: 02/20/08
Now, for the spa treatment
Date: 02/20/08
Wait, you missed a spot
Date: 02/20/08

Date: 02/20/08
Don't mess with me
Date: 02/20/08
Here I come
Date: 02/20/08
Jodi doesn't look as menacing
Date: 02/20/08
Jodi needed some help
Date: 02/20/08
Looks like I got her covered
Date: 02/20/08
The clay couple
Date: 02/20/08
Handstand in the clay

Date: 02/20/08
Gymnastics in the clay
Date: 02/20/08
Time to head into the boat
Date: 02/20/08
This stuff was crazy to walk across
Date: 02/20/08
I must be mad at Jodi
Date: 02/20/08
I think we are just going to leave this clay on all day
Date: 02/20/08
Getting in the boat was a slippery task
Date: 02/20/08
Still enjoying ourselves!
Date: 02/20/08
Clay in action
Date: 02/20/08
Mark didn't like the clay
Date: 02/20/08
But Jodi did
Date: 02/20/08
That's a crocidile in the water
Date: 02/20/08
Let's hope he doesn't come in the boat
Date: 02/20/08
He was posing for us
Date: 02/20/08
Ok, time to rinse off
Date: 02/20/08
What is that smell?
Date: 02/20/08
Oh, it's the water!!
