This week is our one year anniversary of being in Belize! Madness! Time has flown and it is quickly coming to an end- we still have a few months to go and leaving will be hugely bitter and a little sweet (stoked to get back to family and friends and sushi)...but I can't even begin to imagine everyone and everything i will miss.

So lately I have become a li' bit obsessed with Facebook...so the blog is even suffering more...but i will post some photos here that tell a little story themselves...(i hope!) especially for those who aren't sucked into the facebook thang.

Cultural day in San Jose village this past Friday:

We went out to the village council elections in Crique Sarco yesterday. Very interesting to see how the local politics played out. This is the village where Jim has been doing most of his field work. It was actually my first time there- and it was really beautiful. Suffering a little now from chigger bites, but it was well worth it : )

A few weeks ago we also went on a really nice little kayaking trip that took us south of Barranco (one of the most southern villages in Belize) to the mouth of the Temash river, inside the Sarstoon Temash National Park. It was really great to be out on the beautiful warm caribbean waters, under the stars, enjoying peaceful belize. here are some photos...
