But I would still like to share with everyone the beauties of Belize! The first place we went was a ruin called Cahal Pech, but because I'm awesome, I pushed the wrong button on the camera and deleted all the pictures thus far. Luckily it was at the beginning of the trip and not the end!
Our stop after that was Xunantunich- across the river and up the hill from San Ignacio.
Imagine standing up top of this mighty ruin and hearing something loud and strange. Like a sawmill in the distance. And then having someone tell you they are howler monkeys going crazy in the afternoon. These long skinny ones are panoramic so make sure to click on them to get the full effect.
Here's a "winding staircase" inside the temple. I thought it was adorable.
Some of the carvings on the sides. They made every carving symmetrical.
The other side, symmetrically with the same carvings.
Truly beautiful and amazing.
A long shot of one whole side. The carvings are not only symmetrical on the building, but the actual carving goes in the pattern of CBABC. Radacooooool.
Michael at the tippy tip top. Imagine walking up there in 85 degree weather with 80% humidity. Talk about death.
That is why you will see very limited photos of me. Because I looked SICKNAST the entire trip due to the fact that I was a puddle of sweat the entire time.
The main temple in the back with smaller structures on the way. All the living quarters. Indescribable.

I love your panoramic shots! The temples look so beautiful and I wish we could read the writings on them. Isn't so fun to see another antient culture... I am just way too used to good old Europe ;-) You are guys are good at being adventures and going to see fun places ;-) even when it is hot and humid!
These pics remind me of my honey moon.
I wish I could go on a honey moon at least once a month like you guys!
Lucky devils!
Those just look SO amazing! You and Mike get to have such a fun time!! When are you coming back up here?
Hi Chelsey, It was so nice to have you over the other week. I hope you feel better. Can't wait to see the pictures of your trip to the island ;-)
