Hi everyone!
We’ve enjoyed a relaxing day here in Belize. We took a tour of some of the attractions of the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest (where we are staying). We went to the 1000 foot falls (which is actually 1600 ft) and got to take some pics. It was very peaceful. Then, we headed to the Rio Frio cave. It was a big open cave w/ a sandy beach on the inside! We even got to be escorted by the Belizean defense force in case any banditos came to get us!! Yikes! Then, we went on to the Rio On pools where we got to cool off from the heat and play in the waterfalls.
After we had some lunch back at the lodge we took the long hike down to the Five Sisters waterfalls here at the lodge. That’s where I took a nice long nap in a hammock while Jeff worked on a blog post.
Here are some pics from today:

Wow, the falls and flowers are so georgeous – reminds me of Hawaii – so tropical! Loved Jeff's story on the preying mantis -it was hilarious – bet you guys check all clothing now for small critters. Have you seen any banditos yet? Sounds like a setting for a Skippyjon Jones storyline – he has banditos in his books! Jeff could definitely write a book just as funny as that series. There you go Jeff – another job – children's book author!
