Do Nothing in Caye Caulker

Caye Caulker is around 4 kilometers long and not too wide at all.... it is a fantastic spot to chill. mostly because there is not much else to do! (unless you wanna pay $$$ for the various water activities out at sea)... the streets are narrow and without a foot of pavement anywhere! its all lovely sand, perfect for the sole motorized transportation available: the golf cart! other than that its your feet or bicycles.. we arrived on the island a little earlier than we had planned... mainly because the bus we were on didn't stop at our stop in the jungle and when it did stop we were right at the water taxi location-

the people who live here are mixes of Spanish, English, Mexican, Guatemalan, and Rasta (garifuna) and most are fisherman masters of spear and line for lobster, shrimp, barracuda and others.

El Remate

This is a place that we stayed in the beginning of December close to Tikal. A friend recommended this guest house saying that the cabanas were built on a former ruin and that all of them had pieces of the sacred structures in them....?... anyhow we thought we would check it out and it was definitely cool...maybe not super comfortable, but cool.

each little cabana had doors with no doors, windows with no windows, and no electricity, but a fabulous view of the lake. it was owned by a super sweet family, including a little boy that challenged Red to several games of chess (and mostly won) which was cute because he didnt speak any english.

i got a little artsy fartsy practicing with my camera at night.
