Colombia 2008. A trip to The Lost City (La Cuidad Perdida) and a tour of the Caribbean cost from Antigua to La Guajira.

Costa Rica, Pura Vida. The home of the greatest cache of natural beauty in Central America. From the exquisite surf to the primordial jungle, I am glad to call this my home.

France has more culture rammed into every square inch than anywhere on earth. The food and the architecture can almost overwhealm the politeness and graciousness of the French people. I love France.

Guatemala, the home of the Mayan people. The most colorful place that I have ever been, period. A joy to photograph in every way, from the ruins of Tikal to the markets of Chichicastenango.

Nicaragua. Colonial Grenada with culture and markets galore.

My Panama is Bocas del Toro, the island chain in the Caribbean. Beautiful tropics and exotic indigenous peoples make this a great part of Central America.
