Sunday Bike Ride

Power is about to go out, so I wanted to get this posted real quick... had fun, got up at 6 am, off on a old worn out single speed beach bike.

More later!

Back from Mexico

Wow, lots of stories... we are back, safe and sound... more later!

Hola from Mexico

Just a quick note to let everyone know that we made it safe to Corazol, Belize, then Orange Walk, Belize, Found 3 new geocaches!!! ( www.geocaching.com ) We then crossed the boader in to Mexico, and now at Chetumal Mexico.

Had a good time at the local Sams Club, yea, the sams club like in the states, picked up som groceries and had a little mexican food last night. We forced (ok, not really) to drink tequila but Ihave lots of limes, so I got my fruits in! ha!

More shopping then back home tonight! Look for pics and a longer report soon.

(great, google thinks the spell check should be in spanish, since I am in Mexico... grrrr, so if there are any misspelled words, blame google technology!)

Weds Bikin' and Snorklin'

Started off the day beachbikin' to our friends place 1.5 miles north early this morning. I was going to go fishing, but ended up just snorkeling. Saw a huge grouper, a few green morays. I spent an hour or so, then came back to the villa.

I had such a good time, I loaded up the camera, grabbed Dana and Dave, and we headed back. The sun was out and it was a great day, we had a great time. Still learning how this little camera works, but for my second time in the water with it, I was pleased so far. Whadda think?

I ended up swiming all the way to the reef and beyond, then returned back to the beach, and rode back to the villa.

All in all, I think I hit about 6 miles on the bike and 3 hours or so snorkling. I gotta tell ya, I think I like thsi physical activity much better than riding the bike trails and walking in Kansas!



Grey Angel on the Reef




Damel (I think) next to some coral.

Tues Bike Ride

Some of the fruit here.


Fish Tacos!

I headed North on the beach, then west via the old nova shrimp place on the bike. got attacked by dogs at Nova, but escaped unharmed. The bike ride continued on through the jungle, I stopped to turn around at the swamp, and was going to take some pics, but I was worried that the mosquitoes were going to carry me off, and this was with a generous portion of OFF applied. I turned the bike around and started moving, finally after I worked up some speed and got out of the undercover, most of them were gone.

Sorry no pics of the jungle ride, but felt pretty good to get away mostly unscathed.

Total jungle ride 5.62 miles today.

Map of Ambergris Caye

This is a picture of Ambergris Caye map, I left it full size, so you can zoom in. I am in the Basil Jones region, and plan to ride an old very used single speed bike to San Pedro, the town. Should be 16 miles of so one way. We'll cheat and use the boat to get the bikes back home.

Looks like several other may join me. I plan to gps / photograph my way.

Sunday

I had a post all ready to submit and the Internet went down. The local "expert" came over to look at my issue, and deleted my post, so you get this abbreviated post for now. Oh, by the way, after about a hour, the local "expert" came back and did just what I told him to do, reboot the router, a 30 second fix for me, but an hour for him. No wonder thing move so slow here.

Sunday - cove watching (more on this with the pictures later) fishing at the reef, town for some groceries,beach bike ride up north, hide a couple of caches, met with some more locals, set up a special nature trail walk for later on in the next few weeks, cooked fresh fish tacos, was up late last night, about 1015 (Belize and ICT are the same now with daylight savings time) then I slept in this morning, up about 645.

See ya after the break!
