Wheras some of the head trauma was apparently from birth as the mayans used to wrap a bandage around babies heads to modify the shape of their forehead to make it flat. This gave people a more feline appearance, important as the jaguar in mayan culture is an important figure-emerging from the caves of the underworlds with the ...

... out, a big rasta guy who chained smoked and<br>laughed a lot. His first reaction to us ordering food was<br>&#8220;shiiiiiiit, that&#8217;s gonna be awhile, you&#8217;re not hungry yet are<br>you?&#8221; and told us to go grab a hammock under the trees to relax. <br>The cook gave Dan a golf club and dug a little hole in the yard and<br>told him &#8220;If you get this in, dinner is free, if you miss, you&#8217;re<br>paying double&#8221; Dan missed the hole terribly ...

... in the heat to go to the pool. It was sooooooo hot but I knew at the top of the hill would be a lounge chair waiting for me by the pool. Unfortunately, San Ignacio Resort had closed the pool for some event and I had to turn around and hike back down the hill as soon as I got up there. Sometimes life's not fair!<br><br>Went back to the house and got ready for our Actun Tunil Muchnal adventure tomorrow.<br>

... poo episode leads to other poo related jokes. Her and I laughed very hard. There was another older couple who didn't seem to enjoy our humor. Bummer for them. After we return to the village not without more torture of teenage girls.Then we went in search of manatees. It started raining some more when Trish says " If this turns into Gilligan's Island, I'm Ginger" I said fine I'll be Maryann just not Mrs. Howell. Trish said "I think we know ...

... with before also appeared out of nowhere! Mike joined one of the poker games which was going on in the bar so we didn't see him again all evening! Noel's date didn't show up so we chatted with him all evening. The bar was absolutely dreadful - really dingey and to be honest we were pretty glad to get out of there!! <br><br>Sunday 4th Jan: We were awoken by banging music coming from across the river - it seems we'd visited on the one weekend of the ...

... 5 minites of arriving in Belize and I think he really had me goi ng there for a while because the speed and creative brilliance with which he was able to string all of these stories together was something else. But to be honest we were just happy to be speaking to someone in english (languages spoken in in Belize includes english, creole, spanish) and he seemed harmless and friendly enough and we offered to meet up with him again later in the day. He did tell us that we were in for a ...

... before long you become to busy for church, for God. Let me ask you one question before I move into my ministry update. When you said Jesus come into my life be lord over it, forgive me for my sins and I accept your sacrifice on the cross. Do you live that way everyday, every moment. Does your lifestyle reflect the truth of Gods word? If I followed you around and saw who you really are would it be a reflection of Christ? My life wasn't and I must admit I often ...

... right now). I went back to the bank to try to get my ATM card on Wednesday June 18th, but between Sunday and then, we went horseback riding, cliff jumping in the jungle, I taught kindergarten and played and read with kids at The King's Home orphanage. All in all, it was a great time. As I departed for Guatemala, I stopped to get my ATM card in San Ignacio, like I mentioned earlier. The bank was closed. Back to Banana Bank, the missions team and Marieke and Natalie. We had a sweet ...

... had a 12 volt searchlight. Getting into the cave was a bit tight as we had to brush up to a rock whilst bumping over rock on the bottom, but then it opened out to between 10 and 20 feet wide.
