Yep...they looked at all of our passports, too. The only thing we could begin to think was that they weren't in the mood to hurt Americans....

I'm just glad. The whole time we were standing on the side of the road (a very narrow dirt path through the jungle) I just kept thinking that no one would ever even find our bodies, and my parents & Megan (the only kid we had at the time) would never know what had happened to us.
That entire trip was quite the experience, to say the least. We were actually staying in Belize and the trip to Tikal (Guatemala) was just a day thing.
NOW.....WHO WANTS TO GO ON A JUNGLE TOUR WITH ME IN COLOMBIA???
