... long wavy curtains and others looking like giant jellyfish. <br><br>They Maya had a great reverence for caves, we found out that they believed caves were the entrances into the underworld. They feared these places because they were ruled by the evil gods of the underworld and yet the elites would make a trek with maybe a total of 15 people to do bloodletting rituals, sometimes while on hallucinogens, give offerings of food, and make sacrifices. <br><br>After trekking for about ...

... we tried a game of &#8216;21&#8217; on<br>our porch... I was too sunburned and all of us were a bit too far<br>into the rum to make much sense of the game. Annette and I slather<br>bug spray on ourselves and hoped the bedbugs would leave us alone.<br>In the morning, back to our fav spot<br>for one last time, then on to Belize City and eventually back home to<br>San Ignacio. It was absolutely the most perfect weekend, can&#8217;t wait<br>to go back to the Caye!<br><br><br><br>

Friday = Talent Show!<br><br>Cornerstone has been very busy preparing for a talent show featuring students from schools in San Ignacio and surrounding areas. Most of the day was spent collecting prizes which were donated from local business. It was interesting to talk with Heidi about how people went about donating. She told me unlike the formal way fundraising and donations are done in North America, many Belizean businesses just ...

... over the speakers. It was nothing like the chicken bus experience, the driver even stopped for people crossing the road. When did we step into the Twilight Zone? People here are sooo easy going.<br><br>The bus left us in the San Ignacio town square. It was raining and as we walked around; Pacs Guest House was closed and Casa Blanca is over priced. A local at Erva´s recommended J&amp;R Guest House. It was clean and well run by a family. We booked upstairs for 35 ...

At the entrance to the cave there was a small swimming hole which was really cold to swim through...<br><br>We swam over the rocks and climbed up to the lunch area and ate our sausages, rice and beans, apple juice and chocolate biscuits! It was then our turn to head into the cave so we put on our helmets and torches and swam inside. Our guide ...

... way. This made much more sense to me than the bus terminal in the middle of the market, but despite the new station, the bus still went through the market! What a scene! San Ignacio is a cool small town with a nice relaxed atmosphere. There is also a center for rain forest medicinals and Mayan Abdominal Massage. Through the massage web site I had ...

... than usual and that it would be better if we were expereinced kayakers, but we had life jackets and the determination and so off we went. Within about 2 minutes of pulling out from the bank it suddenly started raining torrentially, we got saturated and had to seek shelter on the bank again but then after 20 minutes it just as suddenly stopped and we were away again. There was thick jungle on either side of the banks that we could admire while the water was calm. But the hard part ...

... only more tired and weary than before. Get up you may be weak but you can always fall into the arms of the one who allowed His death so you may have life. I have my own radio show back now from Monday to Friday at2- 4 30 my time which is an hour behind central in the US. I continue to spread the gospel over the amazing media of radio and often times the hours are long and weeks even longer but I take courage from knowing the many that support me and that I serve ...

... strong , sober and stoned together. Most likely you have stumbled upon it already no literary subtleties needed. Money of course money but let me assure you this isn't a " money is the root of all evil or a love of money is either. Have you ever stopped to think about what makes this world go round no not money, while money may make a lot of things possible it would be nothing without first as I said earlier falling asleep ...

This morning we set of for the small town of Douglas Da Silva, originally a forestry town. The town is about 36 kms away along a dirt road, most of the way the road was reasonable but in a few places it was quite bad. On the way we stopped of at the Rio On falls and pools.
