We began by again getting on a very beat up minivan with another couple from Britain. Most of our drive was on regular roads but then the driver took this minivan off-road for a long time including crossing two rivers (no bridges included). It was definitely a new experience for us to cross a river with no bridge in a minivan that looked like it was ready to fall apart.

When we finally arrived we began our hike through the jungle for about an hour ...

... think that’d be a privilege or not.

The most famous image of ATM cave is of the remains of a young girl (16 years) who we had to climb a ladder to see. She was lying in a high chamber which only receives rain after large tropical thunder storms and so it is thought that she was a sacfrice to a rain god. She is in a position that looks like she is dancing and her bones have not been moved by the water due to the shallow ...

Since arriving in Belize… we don’t understand why.. but we seem to bring great joy to the people! We went on a walk to find the swimming hole in the lonely planet, which proved harder than anticipated, but almost every local we met seemed to find us hilarious. Groups of children followed us down the road saying hello and giggling!!! Oh well.. after crossing a rather perilous looking bridge (which there is no way Dad would have ever managed to cross ...

... pm. So of course, by 8:15.... We were just about ready to go!

All of the volunteers (reluctantly) sang "Imagine" and then it was time for the show to begin. The kids had been practicing hard for a long time and some of them were very good!

Our feature performer "Mr Program" was to perform his Number 1 Belizean single 'See I Rise' at the end of the show while the judges tallied the scores. After all the kids had ...

... drifted away to make it on their own, but some remained and staged an uprising, possibly culminating in sacrifice of a captured ruler. Now we turn around and face South: There's another, smaller building on the other side of "Plaza A-II" - a ritual altar - but by far the most imposing structure is the one towering ...

... of 30lbs, a small carry on that I passed of as a laptop case of 30 lbs and a long box containing the radio antennas of 20 lbs. Again God answered prayer and gave me grace in the eyes of the airlines who charged me half of what they could of. A quick flight and back in Mexico then 2 more busses and arriving in Cancun at 10:00 pm. Finding Richard at 10 30pm. A quick stop at burger king and deliciousness filling my mouth once again we headed for customs. As we ...

... eve, nice tree huh, ya its beautiful like everything else God gave to us. Beautiful yes . but have you tasted it? No God clearly said two things, tend the garden and don't eat of this tree. Okay see heres the thing. Let me give you the inside scoop, remember I was here before you so I got the news. The thing about God is He doesn't want you the eat of the tree because of its complex molecular structure. The combination of the neutron and protons is so much ...

... in a country that has already heard the gospel (Belize), so that the gospel is lived, not just preached. They network heavily with pre-existing organizations, missions, churches, and orphanages in order to best accomplish the tasks at hand and help Belizeans, all the while striving to build strong relationships with the people they encounter. They aren't involved strictly in charity work either, they strongly support balanced education for children, which is one of the only long ...

... by the river sweeping in mud and stone when it flooded, these got blocked across the river and over time became sandstone forming the bridges. In addition we saw quite a lot of fruit bats. The tour lasted about two hours and was very informative; our guide was the first modern man to explore the cave in 1987 so he knows quite a lot about it. After the tour their was an opportunity to swim in the river, although I only had a paddle and watched the ...
