 Sue & Geneveva on our deck by Bwana_Brown
She sang the songs for learning your 'ABCDs' and 'Twinkle Twinkle', but with different words than we are used to in both cases. We showed her a trick way of using your hands and fingers to make a church with a steeple and the people inside it. She really loved that and repeated it over and over.
It was not long after we were back at our cabana getting freshened up, that she came running down to help Sue with some small bits of laundry. Geneveva also had a great time 'helping' with the make-up session. It seemed that we had made a friend on our drive back because she came down to see us on the subsequent days when she was brought to the Trek Stop by her parents! We sent her a card with this photo in it, as well as some small games after we returned to Canada. Leave a Comment

 Amish farm country near San
Ignacio by diver-xLeave a Comment

Roads in Belize vary in quality. In the dry season the roads aren't too bad. In the rainy season it might be more of a problem. We often saw Amish people on the various roads. They deliver farm produce, and we were also behind a delivery of a building on the Southern Highway.
When we went on the Humingbird Highway, it was only half paved, with quite ragged edges. It may have a better surface now.
Mountain Pine Ridge had unpaved roads, and some interesting signs. We decided that the dangerous curve signs didn't mean a really sharp turn, but a turn with rocks/potholes around the corner. Also saw signs which said "Pin Curve" and "Hidden Slope".
Lan Sluder writes: "A few roads, such as the newly completed Hummingbird Highway, and resurfaced sections of the Western Highway are very good indeed, among the best in all of Central America and the equal of any rural road in the U.S. or Canada. We have to remember that not too many years ago the Western Highway was unpaved, the Hummingbird was a nightmare of potholes.
MOUNTAIN PINE RIDGE ROAD ...On a recent visit, the road from San Ignacio was in better shape than the route from Georgeville, but this varies depending on when the roads are scraped. Even in good weather in a good vehicle, don't expect to average more than 20 or 25 mph on this road ... A reward: I have never seen so many butterflies in Belize as I've seen on this road, and the scenery in many spots is lovely. After a heavy rain, the limestone dirt can be very slick and dangerous, and clay areas even more so
Overall Road Condition: Fair to Very Poor
Paved Section: 0%
Gas Availability: None Leave a Comment
