We followed in the car as another man on a bicycle rode up the road a ways to the home of the guide, who was available and was willing to take us. Then ensued some interesting negotiations. Since Godfrey is the President of the Tour Guides Association and also on the licensing board, he was reluctant to have a non-licensed guide. Also he didn't want them saying they had a guide if he wasn't licensed. A short aside about Mayan names.
Surnames are really short.
This seems very strange to me for a culture which has a very complex language and complicated names for concepts, space and time, for example. Just another mystery to be explored some other time. My favorite of Tonno's certificates was one for Avitourism Expertise. But they weren't kidding. This guy knew waaaay more about birds than the books.
