Central American Adventure June 2-3


On June first, we traveled from Belmopan, Belize through Belize City and out to Caye Caulker.



Caye Caulker is a beautiful little island, "a backpacker's paradise." There are only 3 trucks on the island. The other options for transportation include golf carts and bicycles. The natives are friendly fisherman and tour guides. I didn't meet a person who didn't consider himself lucky to live there. We only planned on staying a couple days, but like so many others, were drawn in by the laid back atmosphere on the island, and stayed 4 days? or 5? I think we all lost track of time.




This diving board is in an area called The Split. In 1961 Hurricane Hattie came through the island and tore it in half. The Split is the stretch of ocean that now separates the two halves of the island. Oh yea, and Joe did his first back flip ever. . . and it was SWEET!!!!
