The Norton's travel of 2010

In front of the Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave (ATM) a sacred place to the Mayan. And one of the highlights of our trip.












The only way to explore this cave is with a guide. This is the last bit of natural light we saw besides our head lamps. Lots of swimming through the cave and bouldering on the rocks and narrow passage ways. The Mayans did this with torches and carried heavy loads of ceremonial offerings almost 2,000 years ago. Unbelievable!









Olivia's, last two years of summer rock climbing camp really came in handy. As did the flash on the camera for cave shots.
