First I am very glad to be home and I do realize we have it
very good here. Took the Carnival Dream to Cozumel, Belize,
Roatan and Costa Mayo. In Belize we took a two hour Bus ride to
Xunantunich. The ride there was eye opening. Very impoverished
country. They speak English and I was told they have no welfare.
I really appreciated this. The people are self sufficient and this
is what I would like to see here.
People live in homes they can afford. Some are smaller than my shed.
Here are a couple examples I saw.
There are armed police or soldiers along the way. They have check points along
the roads along with little guard houses.
These guys were at the ruins. They would not let me take anymore pics of them.
The upper on that rifle had no finish left on the upper, the lower appears to be
newer.
The ruins were magnificent. You could see a town in Guatemala from the top of
the pyramid.
