Our first day in Belize was eventful.  While I was attending 'school', Ed, Gene and Robby were on a morning drive.  They almost ended up in Mexico since they’re navigation skills weren’t to strong. Maybe they need to attend ‘map-reading school’  We went to the ancient Mayan temple called Altun Ha. Altun Ha meaning "rock stone water" was an ancient Maya city that dates back to 200 B.C. It had 13 temples that you are allowed to cl...

We landed in Belize and met up with our group. Gene, Carrie and Robby. These are the people I already met when we were in Denver at the rodeo. The car we rented had 7 seats, which should have worked.

I’m counting down the hours till I can put my shorts on.

I wrote postcards to my family, while we waited for our laundry. It was my first time to do laundry at a Laundromat and writing postcards.Heather and I went geo ...

At Tuscon, we went to the Sonora Desert Museum. It was by far my favorite museum. We walked through a cave and saw how it has transformed over millions of years. Heather and I spent a great deal of time in the Hummingbird garden, reminiscing about Nana.  She would have love it, because her fondness of hummingbirds.   We went for dinner at Ed and Heather's friend in Cave Creek.  Mary’s home should be made into an old western museum. I haven’t...
