More Belize please.

Michelle, Payton and I just got back from visiting Belize. The trip was outstanding! Our first stop was Table Rock Jungle Eco Lodge near San Ignacio where Chef Chris and his lovely wife Jennifer pampered us to no end. Table Rock is a very intimate lodge with three thatch roof rooms, an open cabana style lounge, a gourmet kitchen and an incredible, open dining area. Table Rock is on a hillside overlooking a river that winds it’s way through the jungle. We ended up being the only guest during the four days we were there. Table Rock is an amazing place for a destination wedding. Chris, Jennifer and the rest of the staff are top notch and can help with all aspects of your destination wedding from lodging and travel arrangements, to helping you obtain the correct legal documents. I highly recommend checking out Table Rock Jungle Lodge in Belize.

Our next stop was Caye Caulker, an island off the coast of Belize. We spent the better part of a week walking, riding bikes and exploring the waters that surround this tropical paradise. On Caye Caulker, shoes and shirts aren’t required, cars are not allowed and rusty bicycles, golf carts and hand made tortillas are the norm. This was one of the best vacations I have ever had and I cannot wait to go back!

I was looking through some older stuff today and found this. It was taken with my first digital camera back in 2001. I was totally blown away by the immediateness of taking the shot and seeing what I had captured on the little screen. This picture was at the Great Sand Dunes National Monument in Colorado. I remember being kicked out of our rogue campsite by a park ranger that didn’t appreciate college kids throwing an extra large sleeping bag down and snuggling up next to their jeep.

Speaking of the Jeep, Michelle and I just passed “Old Bessie” on to one of her cousin’s kids. That car is on her second engine, second transmission, 3rd differential rebuild and still going strong at 270k miles. I love that car. Between the bike grease on the backseats, the perma-funk and mud stained carpets, it’s a total wonder that Michelle gave me the time of day, let alone agreed to marry me. Old Bessie drove all over the country, up to Canada and down to Mexico, North Carolina, Florida and back. Lots of awesome campsites were found with her four-wheel drive and high ground clearance.

I’m not a car person at all. But, I do have strong feelings associated with the memories I have and the smells, sensations and pictures in my head of some of the awesome experiences I have had. And many of those memories include a really old, solvent-infused, sand-filled jeep.
