Hello to All-
Still doing well and enjoying a little tropical rain down here. Some think the hurricane season may be coming a little early this year, not sure where I will be holding it down when the big one hits. Settling into the rural way of life here, haven't been off the farm for about a week and enjoying the simple slow life of Belize. I am currently working through a palapa project, laid a floor down and am now working on framing out the 8 walls that make up the octagon shape of the structure. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to get anything done here. It takes a lot to just have the tools and supplies you need just to make things happen. I will soon post some pictures, another simple task that is hard to deal with when working with a limited amount of power. We truly are spoiled in States. Peace and Love.

Beautiful Belize
Hello Everybody from Belize-
I've made it and been enjoying myself amidst many other creative unique idividuals. It took an all day bus adventure from Mexico to get here and I made it just slightly after dark, but in time for dinner. The people here are great, food is wonderful, and everybody is very friendly. Belize is a very diverse place with many unique people who must be creative in order to survive. No common luxuries here but a very laid back simple way of life where things get done when they get done, and it is hard to get things done here.
The Bamboo farm and reserve is excellent well developed and is the beginning of a well off sustainable paradise. They have a great garden, a lot of bamboo and have planted a ton of fuit trees and avacado that are not yet baring.
Things are good here and I'm getting used to being tropical. I will be sending pictures soon and post more here in a few days.
I think of home everyday and only wish I could be drinking some cold California water, rainwater is not the same. Anyhow things are great and it has been great getting away from the rigidity of the US. Everybody needs to experience the laid back style in the tropics.
I send the tropical vibe to all.

Hello from Mexico.
I hope everybody at home is doing well and not worrying about me in this unfamiliar land I currently find myself in. I made a brief stop in southern Mexico, a town called Tulum, that turned into a longer stay than expected due to some technical difficulties and the Mexican nature of things here.
I ended up getting scuba certified after a three day course turned into five. Through the course I was able to dive in a couple different Cenotes, they are kindof like small lagoons that are conneceted through an extensive underwater river system. Due to weather conditions we were not able to scuba the ocean at all, that was a dissapointment. Hopefully that will soon come. I am headed to Belize tomorrow and will have the chance there to swim the depths of the Caribbean. The beaches here are beautiful and the water is a very nice temperature.
Sorry for the lack of pictures, due to a camera malfunction I have not been able to take a single picture. After a day of serching for a new battery, finally finding one and then finding that the new battery did not help, I have had to buy a new camera. Minor, issue but in Mexico a major pain in the ass. I will soon be posting pictures.
I hope all is well and travel in the spirit of all who are home.
