... the place alive (although in a slightly gruesome way). The Mayans would have used the chambers to make offerings to the gods by way of food and sacrifices maybe in times of hardship. Some of the rock formations made shapes such as of an old lady in a head-dress which looks like their god for fertility and medicine and it was near this formation that lots of pots and a skull were found, suggesting this was maybe an offering to this ...

We had a few more drinks at our local
spot and looked for a place for dinner. Erika had told us about ‘a
place with ingredients for dinner for only $10 Belize!!’ which of

It was such a peaceful moment. Annette was reading out on the porch, but other than that, all the volunteers who had stayed in San Ignacio for the weekend were asleep in beds, hammocks and couches with the breeze blowing in from every window and the fans working over time to keep us all comfortable.

Later on, I hiked ...

... exchanged everything for Belizean dollars.

After walking across the bridge to border control, the immigration officer in front of us asked for 20 quetzals each, $3 U.S. or 5 Belizean. What?! 20 quetzals = 5 Belizean = $2.50 U.S. NOT $3 U.S. What a bum deal if you only had U.S. dollars. Thank goodness for the Belizean exchange earlier. Melchor is the last place you could get rid of quetzals so exchange it there before taking the walk across the border. On ...

On the way back we dropped into Misty Mountain Liquers to sample a few of the local liquers and ended up buying a bottle - absolutely delicious!! It was a really good day out - really fun.

Noel had arranged a 'date' with a guy he'd met in the town that evening so we all went in with him after dinner and had a few drinks in one of the local bars. Another couple who the other guys had ...

So, this morning, I was secretly hoping that the trip would be cancelled and we could go straight to Guatemala. It was raining all night after all... Well, we got the go ahead. What an amazing breakthrough for me! I WAS Lara ...

I would be the first to stand and voice my opinion filled with semantics similar to those that can be clearly seen in politics, in the courtroom. All with the goal of being right first , second recreating truth for myself. This idea of recreating truth can been seen all over today open your internet ...

... machine, so I was able to pay for my Linea Dorada bus ticket and shuttle ride to Guatemala City. In the midst of this chaos and uncertainty, I was wondering if this trip was supposed to happen. It was pouring rain as I got a ride to the bus station in Guatemala City, I didn't know if my ticket reservation had worked, and we were driving through some sketchy neighborhoods in a country where I don't really speak the language all that well yet...I was a tad worried/scared (OK, I admit ...

We had to sweep up lots of wings on arrival and we can still see lots more trapped inside our blinds, we will leave them for a couple of days to see if we will get any more, apparently they covered the whole area from Douglas to here, a distance of 38 kms, there must have been millions.
