Caracol! and Pictures!

Filed under: — Kevin @ 11:28 pm

Hey… after 3 trips to Belize I finally managed to get to the ruins of the ancient Mayan city of Caracol. The place is HUGE… but only part of it has been unearthed. The site is literally in the middle of nowhere… 2 hours of rough dirt roads through the jungle to get there… and that is about half as much as it used to take only a couple years ago…

The site is amazing… and we stopped at the Rio On Pools on the way back for a dip and some granite rock basking… pictures at the bottom…

There’s also a ton of pictures from the past week or so… They’ll be labeled in the top of the windows they pop up in so you know where they all were…

Tomorrow I’m off for the Caribbean island of Caye Caulker (Caye is pronounced key)

Enjoy!
