Allo everyone!
I'll make this quick because I'm running out of computer time....went snorkeling yesterday with the sharks and the rays off of San Pedro (Ambergris Caye, Belize)...that was amazing, but we're suffering terrible sun burns. Apparently the waterproof 10 hour sun block is only worth about 15 minutes......I've never been sunburned like this before...OUCH!
This place is amazing....Caye Caulker is the GO SLOW island...and you do go slow, because everything else goes slow...in fact the only thing that runs on time (sort of) is the water taxi out of here....I could stay here forever....but I've got more of Central America to see....
Miss everyone and hope all is well!

WE MADE IT!!!!
We made it to Cancun without a hiccup. Turns out when you go through Mexico immigration, you push THE BUTTON and it either turns green (and you get to keep walking) or it turns red and that means that you have to peel everything out of your bag and prove to them that you really dont have any alcohol, food, or prescriptions youre going to try to sell...among other things. Thankfully we both got green lights and we were good to go.
The next thing we learned was the importance of asking if a person has change before you give them any money. Since we arrived well before dark, we opted not to take the less expensive bus to avoid dealing with being lost in the dark in downtown cancun, so we took a collectivo (a van that other travelers pitch in on).....when we paid for our collectivo, I was expection 20 pesos back, and they werent received...ive been here for twenty minutes and ive already been taken as a stupid american. okay, point taken...lesson learned.
oh yeah... 100% agave tequila 59.00 USD, Fiji Purified Water 9.90 USD, Can of Pringles 6.90 USD realizing that you have to pay for everything in that deleciously stocked mini bar...PRICELESS!!!!
well, all is well...we are happy and well fed. tomorrow we go to Chichen Itza, which ive lovingly renamed Chicken Pizza....so please look for photos sometime tomorrow night or the next day...Ill atleast write to let you know what the next plan of action is...I think our first Belizean destination will be Corozol, but like I said, ill update that tomorrow....
Miss you all!
