Thanks Luisa, good point about the life preservers, I admit I had not thought of that. Presumably the trip to Livingston from the port is over open water.

The Regent tour gives you a lunch at the Hotel Villa Caribe in Livingston. Can't see any menus for the restaurant, except "local cuisine".

Do you know anything about the Ak' Tenamit school up the river? Seems like people bring school supplies to give to the kids. I'm sure they are poor, but they must get awfully tired of getting pencils and pens from tourists. Or am I wrong?
