Jaguar Paw San Ignacio

... we saw some beautiful glittering stalactite formations and were awed by how the condensation forming on the roof of the caves looked like diamonds. We were told that the river we were floating in was once and underground river but that at some places, over time, the caves collapsed revealing the river we were swimming through.

It was really a very relaxing trip down the river, something very different than we have experienced throughout ...

... well, even getting the
bonus points for being the first team to turn in their paper with a
drop of sweat (thanks Sam’s forehead!)

On the final round, we were tied with
another team for first and suggested with split the cash. One of the
girls on the other team yelled “We’re American’s, we don’t
split things” and so it was sudden death. Sam sat across from the
other player ...

... is 'if it still smells,add more woodchip'. I don't think the rule really works as by the evening it smells so bad you usually have to hold your breath and go quickly. The showers also don't have a roof above them so when it rains you get even wetter- not that it makes much difference as the shower water is collected rain water anyway. With no ceiling you basically share your shower with whatever creatures happen to be in there. As a ...

... me to San Ignacio. What an adventure! William is from Holland but has lived in Belize for 11 years. He showed me all the sights along the way and gave me great insight into the people and culture. We stopped in Belize City for lunch at a small street side patio. I had rice and beans and watermelon juice. It could have just been the 34 degree weather, but that was the best juice I have ever had. Yum, must go back there! The roads ...

... amazing and I was looking forward to it straight away.! We went to a local Italian place for dinner - they were a bit short staffed when 11 of us rocked up for dinner and the owner had to call his wife to come in and help but they were fantastic and so accommodating. Great food - the vegetarian pasta was excellent. I checked a few emails later then cruised off to bed to get things sorted for our caving adventure tomorrow..

... in so many photos online, then climbing this massive, ancient structure was a truly amazing experience. And Javier Perez (from belizecruiseexcursions.com) was absolutely brilliant. [1] Well, I can hardly call myself a "warrior", but I make some effort. [2] No, not that Pedro [3] Seriously. I actually ate a bit of leaf. I blame the heat.

... was pretty amazing - Kirstin did not care for the spiders. (see photos). after cahal pech, we made our way over to Parrot Nest Jungle Lodge, a few miles outside of town in a village called Bullet Tree Falls. It's really amazing here, there are separate bungalows and a big main hangout area overlooking the Mopan River. We've seen several large iguanas hanging out in the yard and a strange mammal that we couldn't identify called the gibnut. the first day we pretty ...

... transition back to speed limits and basic traffic laws as well as many other things. I know not what God has in store for the next three months doors continue to be opened and I continue to seek Gods guidance. Be in prayer for the ministry as we are short staffed and now running the belize city station from here in roaring creek. I pray that God will bless you ten fold for the blessing that you all have been to me. Continue to press on for the work to which ...

... is impossible until we get to go home. But rather it is about a choice the choice to awaken from my slumber to see myself in reception of falling and grasping. How we go about standing up against the wave of status quo is not easy path. I echo previous thought for sense of importance just as the true poet himself in reprising the theme of eternal praise and unrestrained emotion while enduring the temporary battle ...

... yet we must continue to fight for we Christ followers hold the hope for mankind. That Hope being Jesus Christ without Him multitudes will perish and will hold the key but getting to that lock isn't an easy task. As I continue in observe of events around the world I can not help but to feel the Lords return is near . And as much I want to find that women who seeks after Gods heart then mine ...
