View from Caye Caulker


One of the really great things about traveling is seeing new things, experiencing different cultures, and having a blog to share them.

This is an example of the lizards that crawl around all over here.  This one is probably about a foot long, we see them as small as a couple of inches.

A beautiful egret strolling by the dock.

This white flower fits into the season….looks a little scary for Halloween with those tendrils.

A similar model comes in pink.

My photographer (Rex) said he just liked this big palm tree and…

it’s nuts.

You see a lot of dogs around here.  This one happens to have a collar but most don’t and just run loose.  One fact I found very interesting:  no matter how many dogs I have seen (and there have been a lot)… I haven’t seen any dog shit…what happens to it or do I really want to know??

A lady cleaning the “catch of the day”.  As fast as she was throwing the fish guts into the water a big black bird was swooping down to retrieve it.  Fast recycling!!!

My photographer (Rex) taking ANOTHER shot he liked!!

This is the Iguana Bed and Breakfast and I just thought it was a pretty house.

I also saw a couple of things I wasn’t lucky enough to get pictures of.  On the dock one day I noticed a kid run over to one of the trees with long fronds, he pulled one and I wondered what he was going to do with it.  He took it back to the dock and used it as a a stringer to put his fish on.  Cool!

The other day while we were in San Predro, I saw a little girl about 4 or 5 years old putting the chain back on her bike. 

I really appreciate self sufficient people!!
