A shout out to the Cayes Family

"And the sun and moon sometimes argue over who will tuck me in at night.  If you think I am having more fun than anyone on this planet you are absolutely correct."   -Hafiz-

After our over night flight to Miami we had a perfect layover; including laps around the airport, great ethnic food, and a attempted nap between benches.  Then we were off to Belize.  Caught a taxi then a water taxi to finally arrive in San Pedro on the Ambergris Caye. 

With backpacks on the front and the back we wandered through some quaint and colorful island streets in search of Pedro's Inn.  After we checked into our spacious 7x10 sq ft dorm room we explored the town.  We found a little hole in the wall restaurant and tried some local grub.  Then we spent the rest of the day walking up and down the beach, swimming, and playing games trying to stay awake until at least nine.

After sleeping for 13 hours we ate some brekky at Dianitas Cafe.  We scarfed down some johny cakes, fry cakes, and traditional Belizian breakfast of beans and stewed chicken.  Then lounging by the pool we started to plan out the rest of our stay in Belize.  We came up with some stuff but you are going to have to wait and find out.  But we'll stay on (a marching band of little kids just walked by the internet cafe dressed up as their favorite saints for All Saints Day) the island for a few more days then back to the mainland to head north.  We rented free kayaks and took them to the beach today.  We had to walk a quarter of a mile with them on our shoulders because we didn't want to pay for a golf cart taxi (the main vehicle on the island).  It was well worth our two partially functioning kayaks.  Well the blue one didn't go straight for very long before it spun in a circle all on its own.  We thought Kate just didn't know how to kayak so Bren took over Old Bluey and sure enough it spun in circles.

Cool,
Kate and Bren
