· Cave Tubing and Aerial Trek Cave Tubing: The Cave Tubing tour includes a brief drive to the caves, where you will be given your headlamps and an inflated inner tube. While on the 45 minute hike through part of Belize's pristine forest your guide will point out various plants, roots and herbs once used by the ancient Maya for medicinal purposes...

Ok, so I am only about 60% sure that these pictures belong in Belize... I'll check on that eventually.

To the important news first: PC is allowed to enter as a "company" and I'm back with the original girls! Anna did a test run this morning and her foot, so far, feels good enough to do the 3.1 miles. There's an individual triathlon competition running concurrently with the relay race, which I'm pretty sure Jim Scott will be entering. (Lionman con...

I woke up feeling rested and motivated, so I hopped on my bike and went down to the pool at 8:30. (Did I mention that it's a holiday today?) Nothing like getting it out of the way before you're fully awake and realize what you've gotten into! After slogging through the first 10 laps, I actually started to feel pretty good. You know how you just ...

I wasn't planning to do any form of purposeful training today, but I woke up and decided that it was a yoga day. It was actually relatively cool still - about 80 at 7am. Yes, that's cool for this time of year. It doesn't really drop below the high 70's, even at night. Plus, Rob is off in Belmopan to staff the Fisheries booth at the annual Agricu...

In leaving Guatemala for Belize we decided to catch a tourist shuttle bus for the 5 hour trip to Belize City. It is always interesting to go from place to place via bus to get a better feel for what the lifestyle is outside of the city or heavily tourist oriented areas. After about 90 minutes the paved road ended and the rest of the path to the ...

Yes, we just passed our three month anniversary in Belize! We're finding it hard to believe, and sometimes it actually seems like it's been a lot longer. As promised, we'll start off this entry with updates on our assignments: Amy's update: The big news is that I negotiated a slight change in the focus of my work. After spending the first week o...

Hey everyone... Happy Belated Thanksgiving! I missed my Midwestern Thanksgiving complete with too much butter and too much fat and cold, rainy weather. Since I'm in Belize and since it's always hot here, I'm finding that because I so closely associate the holidays with the seasons, it's difficult to get into the "holiday spirit." Luckily though,...

It's been a while! This is problem with me (among other things), that I have a hard time keeping things like this up to date and when I finally do have the time to sit down and update it, I forget about all the things that happened since the last entry. But I will try. Peace Corps work has been going well. I have plans to work on a school organi...
