Departure from Punta Marenco





"Brief were my days among you, and briefer
still the words I have spoken.

But should my voice fade in your ears,
and my love vanish in your memory, then I will come again."-Kahlil Gibran.

Group Leaving Punta Marenco

Our group waiting to leave Punta Marenco.
We were all sad to leave and enjoyed our time in the rainforest.  From night/day hikes to snorkeling/canoing, we will never forget our time spent there.
