Hosts, Dean 2006 Journal Lago Peten Itza', Sept. Peter, Guatemala Sept. 12 On Sept. 10, we dropped Carlos off at a bus stop and he left for Guatemala City. Ted and I spent the rest of the day driving to Peter; we stayed in El Romate. On the morning of Sept. 11, we visited Tikal - amazing. We spent the afternoon swimming around the northern part of Lago Peten Itza', east and west of the Hotel Camino Real property, looking for Moremyus and mud turtles that Ted wanted, without success. We were told that turtles were easy to find at the Camino Real because they feed them. We set 3 turtle traps near a dock 4.1 km W of El Romate by road. On the morning of Sept. 12, we went to the Camino Real dock for the turtle feeding. There were many Moremyus scripta and I swam after one and caught it (SMR158). We then checked our traps and found we had caught a small Staurotypus (SMR159). We drove towards Belize and put a trap next to the road in a small pond 11.3 km by road E of Puerto Chiki (intersection with Tikal Road). We visited the ruins at Macho and returned to find a larger Staurotypus in the trap (SMR160). We spent the rest of the day searching for an aguado near Laguna Patanchel, E of Santa Elena, mentioned in Jonathan Campbell's book as a good site for B. mexicana. We never found it, and only ended up with 2 Bufo from the side of a large lake across from the entrance to the Villa Maya hotel, 2.6 km N of CA-13. We gave up and had dinner in Flores.
