Belize and Guatemala

After we arrived in San Pedro, we walked around the town and visited the little shops and street vendors.

Our hotel sucks. It's called Ruby's, and it looks like something from a B class Spanish horror film. The beds are tiny (two twins), and the sheets are this gross plastic-y material. Also, there isn't any hot water. The private balcony is great, though. It sits on ground level and looks right out to the ocean.

We spent most of the day sitting on the balcony, since it was shaded from the sun. We watched the people wander by and chatted with the locals that came over. One guy was selling cookies, so we bought some (they weren't very good and had way too much baking soda in them). Pizza delivery, right to our balcony, would have made the day, but Cuban cigars, Belizian rum and over-the-counter Percocet that we found earlier helped. :) We found some Jamaican weed too.

Paul caught a cockroach and is trying to suffocate him to death so he can preserve him in his bug collection. "We don't want to destroy him," he sys. I feel bad for the poor guy, even though he's probably the dumbest cockroach I've ever seen, and keep suggesting that he let him go.

We won some "prizes" from a time share thing. Paul isn't optimistic. We have to go back tomorrow to find out what they are.Read more
