November News

About 75 rain showers have fallen since I last blogged...and a few thunderstorms have caused havoc. The boobybirds have come and gone. The dragonflies have successfully launched two short, but powerful, invasions on the village. Fishing is good again - barracuda, shark, and snapper (black and red) and likewise the dinner menus. On a personal note, Laura and Clint spent a super weekend with me in Belize, bringing lots of replenishment for both the body and soul. One morning we toured the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary. What a treat! No jaguar spottings, unless you want to count jaguar footprints! Along our path!! We saw lots of other wildlife, including toucans, vultures, wood thrushes, several otters playing in a stream, a snake peering up at us from the edge of our path, and huge ant mounds where ants were busy moving leaves inside. We also spent time relaxing at one of the nearby resorts. (Check out the new pictures.) The best part of their visit was seeing them, but maybe the next best thing was the new Chinese-made bike they bought for me at the Chinese store in the village...no more long walks in the hot sun for me!! Life is good.
