Salbutes


I need to find an article that explains why greasy food is so addictive. These little 3" pockets of joy are nothing more than fried mini, puffy tortillas punched open to put some meat and other toppings...but my how they were tasty!

Belize Clam Chair

Here is a chair that we saw frequently in Belize and is pretty comfortable if you are in the mood for lounging back in the chair. It's a little hard to sit (lady-like) in a skirt in it though. You can buy some at http://www.belizegifts.com if you like them so much. I haven't bought from them so can't vouch for the business.

Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave - Belize

Spelunking through a cave where you have to swim to find ancient Mayan skeletal remains is definitely one of the highlights of my trip so far! There are no lights put in place in the cave so the tour guides provide you with a hardhat with a headlight on it. It's about as raw as caving can be with a tour. You are allowed to wear your bathing suit while going through the cave but you must carry your close with you tucked away in your hardhat. They require you to wear clothes when you get to the area of the Mayan rituals took place out of respect for those who died. Definitely something to do if you go to the Cayo district in Belize. And better go quick before they decide to stop allowing tours.
