Those old Mayans, man...
... San Ignacio foggy and grey, not really a good omen for our plan to go cave tubing. Unlike the other areas of Belize we'd been to thus far, San Ignacio is up at a higher elevation, close to the border of the mountain pine forests, so there were still palm ...
Adventure hike through caves
Belize is definitely a wonderful country for the amazing nature trails and the Mayan ruins. We managed to combine both by our adventurous hike to the Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave (cave of the stone sepulchre). This involved a 35 minute hike through the ...
Cave Tubing
Adam and I were picked up at our hotel at 9AM for our inner tube excursion. After 90 minute hike through the jungle, we arrived at a cave entrance that was filled with a pool of water. We hopped in our inner tubes and floated through the cave sometimes ...

The Field School
I had a month-long field school in Belize doing archaeology. It sounded exotic and cool and I thought it would be amazing. Mostly it was like doing construction in the jungle, but in reverse. We moved a lot of dirt. We moved a lot of rocks. We sifted ...

The highlight of yesterday- last night we met a true Rastafarian. He was 62 and named Rastafari. He had a massive mound of dreadlocks piled up on his head (they must be heavy!) and theylinked around and kind of grew into his beard as well. We ...
On Our Way to San Ignacio

San Ignacio, Belize
As difficult as it was to leave the beautiful and peaceful Caye Caulker, I arrived in San Ignacio (not really planned but hey, am I planning anything really?) pretty happy with what I was seeing (thanks to all who recommended it to me): a nice little ...
San Ignacio

TIKAL
