A very beautiful place with a lot of history. Not a lot of tourists make it there anymore, more picture taking room for me, eh?

Rainy season...it pretty much rained every evening.

First time out with my Canon Rebel T1i. Comments/criticisms are appreciated.

Thanks for looking. :cool:

I really like 1 and 3.
The less travelled areas always yield the best experiences :)

Please post more pics.
