Though he never actually introduced himself by his name until 2 hours later when we went to Cahal Pech, John was eager to convince me to go on either the budget tours with his son, or to the Actun Tunich Muknal Caves, and continue with telling his life story. John grew up here in San Ignacio—this house was built by his father or grandfather. He is very proud to be Belizean and extremely proud of ...

... residents of the Midas Resort. She is a woman named Eugena Bay, a veteran of both Gulf Wars and she just bought a house here and is waiting for it to be constructed. The Mennonites of the area are building it for her and it will take 3 weeks to construct her wood house. After a small amount of time talking to her, she offered up her car to us so that we could explore the town. We were pretty shocked by her offer especially since she didn’t even know our names yet we ...

... well, even getting the<br>bonus points for being the first team to turn in their paper with a<br>drop of sweat (thanks Sam&#8217;s forehead!) <br><br>On the final round, we were tied with<br>another team for first and suggested with split the cash. One of the<br>girls on the other team yelled &#8220;We&#8217;re American&#8217;s, we don&#8217;t<br>split things&#8221; and so it was sudden death. Sam sat across from the<br>other player ...

... walked into town, found a little funky smelling van, crowded with other people on thier way to the ruins. When we arrived at the ruins, as soon as we stepped foot out of the van, there were kids and adults with things in thier hands that they were shouting at us to buy. I learned how to say "no" and "nada" to these people a long time ago. Rob feels like doing that is treating them like "dogs". I said "no, I'm not treating them like dogs ...

It was inevitable... my computer crashed somehow and I lost mypast week's travel blog.

... have been peeled off to reveal older, better preserved ones. There is evidence of earthquake damage on several buildings around the site. However, it wasn't damage to the buildings that lead to the site being abandoned by its people, but damage to the reputation of the ruling class: they held sway over the common ...

Truly an amazing event that you know if you are in the US we are blessed to have true freedom of religion and a government who ...

slept in until 730 today, which was a nice start. Then i went into town with Margaret and Cory, the family i'm staying with, to go to the local market. This wasn't a touristy market, a real locals market, which i liked. there was tons of fresh fruits and veggies, used clothing stalls everywhere, and some sweet belizean cooking going on. there were even some of those crazy mennonites selling cheese and cream in their suspenders ...

... us, but it would have been nice if he had told us that he was going to do this instead of just leaving us behind. We loaded up in the van and rode the 45 bumpy minutes back to Crystal Paradise and I grabbed money to pay Selmo back.
