Welcome to Belize

We got to Corozal and I fell in love. It is a small town and you can hear reggae music in the streets. We ate amazing Belizean food, and stayed at this adorable Inn on the water. The roof of the inn is a giant patio with hammocks and chairs, and since we were the only ones in the hotel we didnt have to worry about being bugged by other people.

We met this man named Shey, who owns a barber shop/radio station/ tv repair place. He was very goodlooking until he took his hat off. He had this MC hammer flat top haircut. Sigh... he was wicked nice though, and very cool to hang out with. We only spent one night there, but I would have stayed longer if we could have.

Ok, so the next day we did this day trip in lamanai to see the mayan temple. Very cool. mark and I walked all the way to the top which is over 33 meters. From there you could see the entire jungle and the water, it was breathtaking. I have cuts all over my legs, and blisters on my feet because of it, but it was so worth it.

We stayed the night in Orange Walk, which was sketchy at best. We got a drink at this disco, and it was awful! Wet, sticky floors, there were only 4 people and they were making out, and fighting, and generally sleazy. The place had bottles everywhere and huge cobwebs in every corner. We high tailed it out of there as fast as we could. Yuck. It was hundred times worse than Jimmy Jazz. Our hotel was made of concrete and all the windows were barred. It kinda felt like prison, espcially when they gated the door at night. I do not recommend that town. nope.

Mark tried to update the blog himself, but his computer was being iffy so he gave up, and Julia is taking a ridiculous amount of time emailing.

Right now we are in Caye Caulker. It is stunningly beautiful here. A small island in Belize, no cars, clear water...you can walk the whole town in 20 minutes, or if you are really lazy you can rent a bike or a golf cart. Our cabana is on the water, and we have lizards under our stairs. They nod to us as we pass, and Julia and I often comment on how cute they are. We went snorkelling yesterday and I pet a shark and sting ray's. It was probably one of the coolest things I have ever done. We are spending two nights here in paradise before we move on, but I could spend eternity here without a doubt.

Hopefully pictures will be coming soon... ugh, I know. We are slackers.
