Belize it or not

went to Belize my second time in June sometime.

used a flower from Tikal for dress.

still like Blondie.

entrance to Actun Tunichil Muknal, cave system in Belize used by Mayans for ceremonial purposes over a thousand years ago. abandoned since 900's AD.

you swim, wade and climb through nearly a kilometre before getting to the dry area, where the camera came out.


some pottery from offerings to the gods. laid out like this after the offering was complete. smoke on ceilings still. and hundreds of artifacts all around.

and skulls. well two of them anyways.

at the end you enter a chamber that has this full female skeleton, calcified a fair bit, from a human sacrifice.

all the minerals reflect all the light from torches magnificently.


in Independence and on a bus.

the national beer.

sunrise one morning in Placencia.

water looked... like magic.
