Default Photos of Xcalak dark-sky site in Mexico

I have posted about 10 photos of Xcalak and vicinity on my web site,
with a review of the dark sky conditions there. This was my fourth trip
to Mexico in search of dark skies and the first really successful one.
It's a 6-hour drive from the Cancun airport down to Belize, but worth
the trip if you want really dark skies, thanks to the lack of
electricity in the area. My review is at:
http://home.fuse.net/astronomy/xcalak.html.
No photos of stars because I didn't take a telescope--just big
binoculars. Also, we go for the diving as well as the astronomy.
Clear skies!
