Caye caulker
Journeyed out to caye caulker today to try to find some swimmable beach area. Man, we walked about ninety minutes south along the water and mangroves before we hit a dead end. We later heard from other travellers that ten minutes north and we would be near a nice split in the island with a beach. So we stayed all day on this small island, got the cheapest food so far at a popular locals place , consumed two or more liters of fresh juices (sold for usd 2.50), climbed around a mangrove tree popular with some local kids, and passed some good time with these kids watching their sea animal stash (so the little brother wouldn't dump it out or eat it). We learned from these kids that fish, shrimp, and stone crabs live inside conch shells. Tony just thought the conch shells around the tree were real dirty. We were both surprised at the spoils inside when one kid knocked it on the pier we sat, spilling out mud and crabs galore. We missed out on the device tonight, but pupusas and hot dogs in the square were almost as good. Tomorrow we go back to Mexico! Hast pronto. Graces, Belize, por tu internet. Oh yea, English and creole are dominant here, barely any Spanish.
