The other day we were at the Mayan ruins in Tikal in Guatemala, swatting away Mosquitos. At the last minute, we realized Belize was only a 6 hour bus ride away. Wanted to get out of the jungle heat.

Belize has been great. we are on Caye Caulker, a little island off of Belize city. 80 degree waters. snorkeled with sharks and stingray. really beautiful. hung out in my hammock. Kim got a tan for the first time in years. we are staying in a rustic cabana on stilts on the beach. $20 a night. piddle around the dirt roads of the town on a little rusted out beach cruiser with a basket.

island life is good ‘mon.
