I am currently in an internet cafe in punt gorda (or pg) belize. It is a small coastal town with lots of local fruits and veggies and I dixcovered two mayan women who provide traditional meals so I've been hanging out with them and eating beans and tortillas. I had a fabulous couple days since I last wrote. I found san ignacio to be a bit of a disapointment because one can't do anything without paying for an expensive tour. I did find my own way to a couple ruins and paid a total of 12 US dollars when the same tour was 65 so I was proud of myself. Plus I was able to hang out at the top of a temple for 2 hours by myself in the morning before all the tour groups came. I then randomly ended up in a very small coastal village called Hopkins. The town consists of one dirt road that stretches about 3 miles along the carribean. I stayed on the beach and met some fellow travelers. Incredibly nice people. I hope to return there on my way back to cancun in april. Yesterday I stopped by another ruins site and spent the afternoon wandering around PG. I hope to make it to Quirigua, Guatemala tonight.
I have had a wonderful week but am looking forward to Xela and staying in one place for a month.
