Significant Mayan ruin in danger of being lost

El Mirador, a Mayan ruin located in the north of present-day Guatemala’s El Peten region, is in danger of being lost to modern development. A road bringing logging equipment in to harvest the surrounding forest is running roughshod over ruins. In addition, looters remove ancient Mayan artifacts for big profit. El Mirador is especially significant because it harbors evidence of settlement far into the past … as long ago as the 6th century BCE according to the Wikipedia article El Mirador.

For me, any especially ancient pre-Columbian Mayan ruin could be a site visited by Atlanteans in our far distant past.

Bridge Dream Interpretations

A bridge dream usually provide a connection between one thing and another. It could be a connection with where you are and where you want to be. Therefore, the bridge dream will be about a decision you’ve made, usually the day before you had the dream. Or, a bridge dream could also be about a connection between you and another person.

Sarah Albee at Book ‘Em Waynesboro 2010

Sarah Albee, New York Times Best Selling author of children’s books, her latest: Poop Happened!, also attended Book ‘Em at Waynesboro, Virginia last weekend. I enjoyed her delightful presentation called, “The Scoop on Poop” where I learned how knights in armor pooped and how astronauts poop – great stuff of great interest. If you read my October 13th post, you know that I videotaped many Yucatan bathrooms when filming Yucatan Travel because I have a fascination with beautiful tiled Mexican bathrooms. No, the bathrooms did not make it into the travel documentary. Sarah graciously posed with me for the following photo:

I attended the Cedar Creek reenactment, my first, with my friend Jean Keating who is the author of the Civil War romance: Love’s Enduring Bond. Check it out. It’s a tender, heart-rending story – should bring a tear or two!

The digital photograph was taken with a Nikon D50.

Civil War Reenactment Photograph

After Book ‘Em, I went with my writer friend Jean Keating to a Civil War Reenactment at Cedar Creek, which is close to Middletown, Virginia. Jean’s latest book is a civil war romance.

Jean is writing an article for Chesapeake Style magazine. I went along to help with the photography. Jean hunkered down along the Union side of the spectator area and I took on the Confederate side as you can see from the photograph below.
