Yup, I am in a new band these days, its a pleasure to play with these peeps. We are basically a Latin folklore group with songs from many different parts of Latin America and a few others. Great high energy stuff. (our new friend Bin Chan in the back, he is a great didge player)

Last night 2/24/07 we had a group of performers from San Pedro join our show with juggling, fire, etc. Here is a picture of the group and a juggler.

This fabric is a great reflection of how rich life is here at Lake Atitlan.

The kids around here make coffee too, but sometimes it tastes a little like dirt.

This is a cool random picture of a wall and the ground, I just love the texture so I figured I would share it with you.
