Island Life

When you mention certain Central America countries like Belize or Costa Rica, most get the impression of mass tourism and the country losing it's initial "flavor" in turn to make money. Well, of course there are parts like that everywhere. 

I chose to spend my time on a small island inlet called Caye Caulker. I picked this place because it was small (only 5 miles long and one mile wide) but the main reason why I picked this place, was because there are no cars. No paved roads. Just sand walkways. And I LOVE to walk ! (Or of course, you can rent bicycles or golf carts to get around). As they say there, GO SLOW.

I walked around ALOT. What a great ending to my trip. I didn't do much but lounge on this island, took a sailboat sunset cruise/dive into the waters to snorkel/drink beers/and enjoy the sun in February. I went from a jet boat ferry, to a shuttle, to the airport, back to Utah where it was cold, chilly, snowy, but oh so lovely to be back home in the desolate desert land where the red rock would glow with the late winter sun.

 I know I move around a lot. I have accepted my true nature of being an aimless wanderer, my lust and desire to seek the new and unknown will never go away. So I will continue to live life at its fullest, to keep calm, to live in the present moment, and be ever so grateful.  I am at peace where ever I happen to go.
