2010

Last Christmas, seems like much longer than a year, I was in Colombia. This year I was in Belize.

Belize is a strange central american country that feels like the states much more than central america. I rented a house in Placencia, on the carribean, for two weeks with four other artisaƱo friends, Josinara, a BrazileaƱa, her boyfriend Walter, from Argentina, another argentino, Herramia and Ruben.

Placencia was beautiful with a tranquil carribean beach, Garifuna and english all around. It was wierd and cool to be in an english land again but when I got back to the border of Guatemala the other day, I was happy to be back in spanish world.


Our tables in Placencia. Mine is the last one.


This one.



Ruben, Josi y Lion a friend we met in Placencia.



Walter and Herramia. New Years eve, waiting to watch the full moon come up over the ocean. It was magnicicent.



Waiting for the moon.



Josi, Herramia and I on christmas. I made my first turkey. Twenty pounds.
I put it in the oven around 7 in the evening and fell asleep before it was ready at around 1. But the next day it was still delicious.


In the back of a bus in Belize, a rasta guys little dog, Snoopy.
He was cold that morning so he had on a little shirt.


Breakfast in Livingston, Guatemala.


Waiting for the boat to go to Belize in Livingston.



A wierd and disturbing mural of a baby/chicken in diapers either
throwing up or eating coins of money.



A new necklace of mine. Opal from Mexico with copper and agate in the chain.
