Without a doctor we can not run our usual mobile clinics in the villages. As a nurse practitioner James is not recognised by the government as able to run their NHI clinics (although he's very much able to do so!). This leaves both us and the people in the villages in a bit of a pickle. Two of the villages we were supposed to go to this week (Ja...

Vstajanje pred 6.00. Odhod t.i Chicken busa je ob 6.30. Avtobuse so uvozili iz ZDA, to so stari rumeni t.i. School Buses. Morda jim pravijo tako, ker si noter nagneten kot piscanci, morda zaradi rumene barve, morda pa zato, ker vcasih v njem vozijo tudi piscance.

It takes forever to get places sometimes in central america and today was no exception the road ...

He was a carpenter, a mariner, and a high end innkeeper. For nearly two decades he alternated between running an inn on Martha's Vineyard and running a sailboat charter business i...

Took a boat and a bus to the most southern town of substantial size in Belize and upon first impression with sunny weather, it seemed like a worthwhile place to spend a night, so we refused the afternoon boat heading to Guatemala and settled in to the "Nature´s Way Guesthouse." Just as we were ready to find some lunch, it began to rain. When it ...
