Alright I'm back from vacation and exhausted!!!
We did so much, every day was surreal. We kept looking at each other saying "is this for real?".
Photo heavy....

The first place we stayed was Jungle Jeanies. The view from our porch was what I posted in my last blog.


From there we went backpacking through the world's only Jaguar Sanctuary, Cockscomb.
our camp...

We hiked 2km straight up a mountain in100% humidity to a beautiful waterfall, Tiger Fern Falls.


I was a total bitch but completely worth it! Look at that thing!

The next day we went on the ATM tour, Actun Tunchil Mucknal. It is spelunking into an ancient Maya sacrificial chamber. We were neck deep in water, squeezing through crevices, over slippery rocks, all the while in a pitch black eerie cave. It was amazing.
I had my camera in the dry chamber...

Even the broken pottery was considered sacrifice to the gods. Each was broken and placed in a very particular fashion. They are all dated to be around 700CE.

As the Mayans became more desperate they went deeper into the cave and began blood/human sacrifice. These remains are from around 950CE.

The "grand finale" as our guide kept calling it, is a woman placed in the birthing position in the far end of the dry chamber. They call her the Crystal Sepulcher, because her bones have become crystalized from the cave.

Really, it was one of the coolest thing I think I have ever experienced. So, eerie, touching, adventurous, scary, amazing, and so many other adjectives.

Next we visited the ruins of Xunantunich, a smaller Mayan ruin (yet still breath taking).

This is the main temple, we climbed to the top of it.

Just to give you a scale of how large it is, look for me at the bottom!


The place we were staying at had an open air dining hall. They put fruit out for the birds everyday.

Toucan!!!

Next we took a small propeller plane to Dangriga.


That's right I rode copilot! I tried not to touch anything!

We stayed on Glover's Atoll for 5 days. There was no power or true showers or true toilets, but it was paradise. We spent most of our time diving, but have yet to have the underwater cameras developed. This is what I have from my Rebel.

Our island.


Our Cabana.

HUGE hermit crabs only came out at night. Which just led to us singing Hall and Oates, "Man Eater" a lot.

Bonfires were had.


When we were diving we were relaxing. So, I nerded out by finishing the Hobbit.


Me and the boy.

When we left the island I was sunburned and tired. BUT it was Dustin's birthday. We headed back to Jungle Jeanies in Hopkins village to celebrate. We met some really interesting people and I think it might have been the only time in two weeks we actually got drunk!!!

Terrible photo, but that is my favorite swim suit.

Shots, shot, shot, shots.

A guy in the bar had the best/worst tattoo ever!

So, now I am home and quite tired. It was so strange not be able to experience my set going into MR. I sometimes get neurotic when they do and check every five minutes to see how they do. It was nice just to let it go and hope for the best. I do love the set so much Alissa and her pups are freaking awesome, and shooting that set was such a blast.
My favorite photo....

Naboo leaping off of my back!

Anywho, I suppose I should get back to the real world.
Much love,
