Carisa, Andy, Kate and John went to visit the Mayan ruins on the island, while I stayed behind. This was in case they were claimed by an ancient Mayan god in fulfillment of some awful blood prophecy. There had to be SOMEBODY left to do the 8:45 show in the Spinnaker Lounge. I give of myself for the good of the group.
I'm already an expert on the Mayans and their infamous calendar anyway. Did you know they were all Freemasons who were actually aliens, who were secretly werewolves from the future? It's all in the DaVinci Code. My research is sound. And by research, I mean I fell asleep while watching 2012 and woke up during Twilight: New Moon, then Carisa told me about The DaVinci Code. Research. Please Belize it.
Carisa and Kate, aboard the bus to the ruins. Sunglasses Club!
John and Andy. No Sunglasses Club!
Sunglasses Club is not amused. Belize the Hype.
The Belizian $5 bill, featuring a picture of a young Estelle Getty. The Golden Girls are HUGE down here. Belize me when I say this.
Andy and John arrive, and Andy has joined Sunglasses Club. John's smile hides the pain of betrayal.
The thousand year-old Mayan ruins of Belize. Incredible acheivement of ancient science and engineering built buy one of the most powerful empires ever to exist. Pretty impressive, even in pictures.
More ruins, more wonder.
Carisa atop the ruins.
John at the top....with Sunglasses! The circle is complete, as predicted by the Mayan calendar. Watch your ass, John Cusack.
Andy makes the steep climb, agua in hand.
From the bottom.
Local plant life; A tree that survives by wrapping itself around another tree. Nature scares me. Do you Belize in life after love?
This terrifying and fascinating.
This is Kate, decidedly not terrifying.
And here's Andy, being sacrificed by a local. Oh boy.
A final, outstanding view of the ruins.
That's Day 2. Belize it.
Awesome. Which ruin is that? Xunantunich? Caracol?
