Belize...did all we could. Muz swam with the rays and the tarpins and the turtles and sharks, etc. etc. We sunned and sanded and found a remedy for sand flea bites. We gorged ourselves with the meat pie man´s wares, guzzled juice from Julia the Juice Lady and got pineappled, limed and grapefruited out. We had Dove bars in various incarnations and tried our darndest to find the perfect cup of coffee. We even saw a dead inflated blowfish! Eeek! Island life, mon...
We took a beautiful boat ride across azure waters to Belize City, a Christian cab ride to the airport (he preached the whole way there), surprised to find ourselves booked into first class on Taca Airlines to Salvador and then to Guatemala City. We´re back in Antigua now, preparing for the push home tomorrow. The Posada San Sebastian (yet another wacky room!) seems like home. We snuck out this morning before the parrot was up and headed across the plaza to Cafe Condessa for some good Guatemalan coffee and panqueques. Yummmmm....then off to the Artesanas Mercado for one last negotiation...ah more textiles...but really, your honor, I have a PLAN! And as Mr. Muzzy says, ¨Yo soy es Burro¨.
Thanks for enduring the posts. I intend to post a long boring Ïmpressions¨ wrap up whe we get home.
The Muzzys
Muz 'n' Shell
Muzzy and I started traveling in 1990. Our first trip was to Thailand. Muzzy was in the Merchant Marines in another incarnation and had traveled all over the world. I had done a lot of internal traveling, but waited a lifetime to be able to really travel. After that first trip I was definitely hooked. We went to Bali in '93. In '96 we returned to Thailand to visit our daughter Sarah at her Peace Corps site in Petchabun province. In '99 we went to Nepal and Thailand, in '03 to Laos and Thailand, and in '05/'06 back to Thailand, Laos and Burma. In '07 we returned to Nepal, Laos and Thailand with our dear traveling companion Kyp. Muzzy and I have been incredibly fortunate in making the trip up the Nam Tha river twice to Luang Namtha. Laos is very special to us. I just hope we get to keep traveling. The photos posted on this site are all by Mr. Muz unless otherwise stated, and he is a grand and wonderful photographer!
