... if we could teach CPR or swimming. We said we would teach CPR ( or try to ...) next meeting but that we would need a dummy to demonstrate on. We were then given the task of finding said dummy... and trying to teach swimming too. Just because, so that's added to the to do list. After, we went to 'Cayo Twist' for delicious ice cream on the top of San Ignacio hill, overlooking the city. It was a great view with good company and fantastic ice cream!

... a tree with about 5 in it and then we found a tree with one howler male monkey who came down to say hi to us and got within probably 3 feet. pretty cool but kinda freaky at the same time! i was glad he didnt rip anyones face off hahaha. after the jungle hike we did some more boating and then ate and amazing lunch in Monkey River, the village. Afterwards on the boat trip home through the mangroves we saw a manatee! i was so excited to see teh ...

... like me, 2 hour wait, then flight to Belize City. Flying into Belize was just beautiful. The colours over the sea were all shades of green and blue dotted with islands and reefs. At the airport, it was HOT! Suddenly regretted bringing so much stuff. After a lengthy wait and discussion with customs (who insisted I should have contacted the local government before bringing school supplies to donate), I met William who would ...

... up taking a trip to some water falls which turned out to be an amazing day. On our way back to camp, Jim thought it would be a good idea to "share" the tourists with some other locals so he took us to a local bar. He kept us there for a hour so he could down 5 rum and cokes while we waited. I don't think any of us thought it was a good idea for him to drive but he didn't seem drunk. We were headed to ...

... Das habe ich dann gleich mal gefuettert :D Heute Mittag waren wir bei ein paar Mini-Maya Ruinen (Cahel Pech), das war zwar nicht so beeindruckend, aber nur eine halbe Stunde Fussmarsch von unserem zuhause weg. Zum abkuehlen und erfrischen (denn es war wirklich sauheiss und uns der Sabber am ganzen Koerper runtergelaufen) sind wir dann 200 m weiter in Hotel gegangen und haben dort ein wenig im Pool geplanscht. Das ...

... of colorado. We haven't decided exactly what to do tomorrow morning, maybe the botanical gardens or the butterfly farm...but then we head to Tikal, the really big famous mayan ruin. We're goign to try to stay in the park so that we can watch the ruins. We're all safe and happy, and everything seems to be going nicely. Dinner is here now, so I should head. Bye!

... Creek Cave where we saw really cool rock formations and stalagmites / stalagtites. At some places the cave formations were so low that we had to lie flat in the canoe to get through. Afterwards we had some time to chill by the river and take a dip in the cool water...

... most curious and asked thousands of questions. You can see her in one of these photos standing with a plate in hand waiting for a hamburger. The 10th of September was a national holiday in Belize. This day is marks the battle of St. George where the British kicked the Spaniards butt and out of Belize. We went into town for the parade, which was really short and uneventful. We headed home for a marshmallows roast by the creek along with night a bath in ...

... they do) andessentially break at the zip and fall off. Arg! But only on one leg. So yes, I did much of the caves wearing one leg short, one leg cropped. I looked HOT (literally too, remember) Anywho, after about ooh 2-and-a-half-hours underground we get a choice; to wonderland or not. A more impressive part of the cave requiring about another 45mins of climbing (there, and then back, and then the hour exit). I figure: why not! I´m enjoying the climbing, regardless ...

... Crystal Paradise and the San Ignacio area in general, it will be at a different time of year. We checked out of our room in advance and then met up with Andy, another of the Tut brothers, in the parking lot, where he had already saddled up some horses for our horseback ride through Cristo Rey. Andy rode Whiskey, who was a handful, Erinn rode Blanco, who was very easy going, and neither of us can remember of the ...
