Too Much Rain and a Rising River - Rio Dulce, Guatemala

It has been raining everyday for almost a week!  The days have been starting with cloudy skies and sometimes a peek of sun, but then the rain moves in, and it usually rains all day and most of the night.  Yesterday, we finally had a full day without rain, and we were very happy!  Today looks better, so hopefully the rain has moved on north, and we can enjoy the sun again!  The river has come up several feet, so many of the areas are flooded.  We have had to move our fenders and lines to the dock several times as the water has risen.  It would be a good time to head down the river, as the current is strong!
 
 Our picnic area is almost flooded!

We have had to adjusted our fenders and lines several times this week, as the boat has risen against the dock.
