The Belize Cayes

Well, this is definitely the best spot we've found so far.  Belize is awesome.  Can't even compare it to Mexico.
The reef is amazing.  It is clean. Logan is in heaven playing with all the local kids.
Shane loves swimming in ankle deep water and picking up little coconuts on the beach.
Ali is happy swimming with kids.
You can be barefoot in a city and not even worry about a thing.
I dove yesterday and grabbed onto the fin of an 8 foot shark.  I picked up a sting ray.  I saw turtles, a lion fish, amongst the schools and endless schools of fish on the 2nd largest barrier reef in the world.

People are friendly and smiling.  We have even been dabbiling with the idea of property here - ridiculously cheap.  A guy from New Zealand in our hotel bought a house and land for 120K.  There are lots for 40K.  Ridiculous.


We have rented a place on Caye Caulker today after leaving Ambergris Caye.  It is very nice here.

Sandy streets and laid back vibe.

  4. I wouldn't be catching any rides with 8 foot sharks...jeepers. Glad to read you are doing well. Wasn't getting any updates, so I thought you weren't posting. Fall has arrived on "The Drive". They don't call it Oakridge for nuthin'.
