... in order to attract the females. It was a beautiful creature and a good spot by Anwen!<br><br>We arrived back at Hillary&#8217;s rather a mess, and headed straight to the shower. Anwen rather cleverly had brought her dress to change into, but whilst I had brought a skirt I had no change of top, so had dinner in a nasty river water/sweaty top (although considering I have put said top back on this evening, I obviously no longer have any shame ...

... better than the last lobster dinner, endless combinations of flavors. The Thai sauce was loaded with explosive tastes, ginger, cinnamon, clove, lemon grass, basil, aniseed, cilantro and hot pepper with a sweetness of honey in a soy sauce base, absolutely magnificent! Then she shredded these root foods, yam, potato, cassava, some purple yam, loaded with sesame seeds and fried it like a potato pan cake and served it with a sweet hot mango sauce ...

... on the night of the 18th...Garifuna bands (consisting of drums, drums and more drums, a guitar, a couple of maracas, turtle shells and a conch shell) started playing in the streets, anyone who could cook set up street stalls and the street party commenced....and continued. It didn't stop until 7am the next morning when the canoes came in during the re-inactment of the settlement...then the ...

... local respectively. The crew took a real shine to "Irish" as they christened Emmet and spent the whole next day imitating him, trying to get him drunk again, and inviting themselves to the old sod for a session. As we said lads, you're welcome anytime. We finally arrived in Placencia at the end of the third day, happy, tired and by some miracle of God, only mildly sunburnt. UB40 were blasting on the radio which I'm ashamed to say sounded glorious after the **** they had made us ...

... them. After about 15 minutes, we reached the village of San Antonio and a brief stretch of pavement. San Antonio was a nice little town that seemed a bit tidier than Cristo Rey even. Looked like it would be a nice place to stay during a visit to the region. We left San Antonio and continued on up the very rough dirt road. After about another 15-20 minutes we turned left off the road and began to make our ...

... which ment the whale shark dissapeared from view but that was a very memorable few moments. On the same dive we spent most of our time surrounded by dolphins. There were 6 of them swimming all around us, playing with the bubbles from our air, diving down to catch fish and teasing each other. floating in the water i was amazed as these creatures darted around us, no fear just curious and playful. Janette managed to capute some video of the dolphins and when looking back ...

... ll take lots of pics and hopefully upload them at some point. i've settled into life quite comfortably in Belize, Martin and Janette live a very happy life out here. It seems the stresses that mum and dad have to deal with each day just dont occur out here. Life is slow but things get done..at some point! I'm thinking about everyone at home, wish you could all be out here sharing this with me.

In order to renew my visa, I had to travel to Belize. Of course I made a vacation out of it with some of the other volunteers. We had the week off school for Spring Break so it worked out perfectly. On Saturday morning at 5 am, Mel, Toby, Nathan, Alex, Gerardo, and I loaded the chicken bus and spent the next 13 hours traveling. Five buses and two boats later we arrived in Placencia, Belize on the ...

... ages of 40 and 75 at the local store. She approached me, Kismet: Were you down at my place yesterday? Me: Where's your place. Kismet: On the north part of the village. Me: Oh yeah. I was looking for a place to eat. Your sign said you serve dinner. I hope I didn't disturb anyone. Kismet: I'm sorry I wasn't around. You see, I was having an intimate moment with my lover. Me: Uh-huh. I appreciate ...
