... took her up.

We decided that with our time we would go ahead and visit one of the local Mayan ruins called Cahal Pech. This was a small city of some importance between the years 900 BCE and 800 CE. The coolest thing about this small site is that it held the houses of a royal family with their own personal temple. The royals sure know how to live it up. Afterwards we made reservations for some caving excursions we want to do and spent the evening relaxing. Tomorrow… CAVE TUBING!!!

... our tickets (in
AIRCONDITIONING, yay!!!!) and then get on the boat to Caye Caulker.
Time-wise, today couldn’t have been any better! The boat was full
and it was a long hot ride to the island.
Finally at Caye Caulker which looks
like paradise. We were all hot and tired and wanted to find a room
so we could get in the sea, asap. Several places looked alright but
at $40 US a night, we weren’t staying. Finally found “Sandy Lane” ...

... stuff. It takes a lot of discernment.
So when we arrived in Corozal, we went to the store to pick up some things and a homeless man came up to us. We put bug spray on him (because th mosquito's will eat you alive in Belize) and gave him what we had, which was a bag of cheetos and we prayed on him.
Later in the night, we met a family on the beach, learned some Mayan words, saw them go "net fishing" and swam with them. We went to ...

... Maria's Hot Sauce, a Belizean tradition that I can't wait to try. Also, I notice that they don't have Kraft Dinner but they do have Magic Cheese Dinner, mmmmm Magic. Back to the house to have dinner and relax. And check Facebook which is filled with tons of supportive messages, thanks!!! Tomorrow I'll be taking a tour of the city to learn where things are and to get a better idea of where I can help out. Well, I'm off to sleep!

... Belize side they asked us to fill out a questionnaire for symptoms of the flu before stamping our passports for entry. Everyone spoke English, Taxi prices were officially listed and we didnīt have to worry about haggling for a ride to the Benque bus terminal. Hello Belize!!! 10 Belizean for the taxi to the terminal, 30 to go direct and only 1.50 Belizean to get to San Ignacio on the local bus. With only 5 Belizean in my pocket, there was no question of how we were going to ...

... new enterprise." "How long would that take?" asked the fisherman "Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years," replied the American. "And after that?" "After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, work in your orchard,catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend your evenings laughing and enjoying your friends Know where you are going in life; you may already be there.

... kids had a fun time playing games (especially the apple bobbing which Sabrina won) and breaking the home made piņata (we helped Linda make earlier in the day). We have gone to the Esperanza Pentecostal Church the 3 Sundays we have been in Belize. It is a small church (as are all here) with a service very similar to Canada - only a lot louder. The songs are the same but they are put to a Caribbean tune so sometimes they are hard to recognize. I have ...

... on the ground, but not flyers!) hmm! There was even a tarantula kept around - eek! The toilets were compostable, so a wee bit of a smell, and the showers were minimal.. hmm! Not the place I figured to be spending much time by my own choice! Quite cool nonetheless, but wouldnīt fancy more than the two nights there! Anyway - birthday!! Get kept awake most of the night by the rain hammering down on the noisy tinny roof of the cabin. Gah! Early start as the pick ...

... for Erinn's burns. We eventually had to settle for the only bottle they had, which was basically just plain name-brand lotion with 5% or less aloe. We got back in the van and rode about 20 minutes to the small village of Teakettle, where the van stopped just off the Western Highway so that we could wait for more people to join us. During our 30 minute wait, we watched a local worker slap concrete on a new ...
