Placencia

HIGHLIGHTS
- Having our own kitchen so we could make pizza and muffins and no-bake Oreo pie.
- Tyler saying all of the shop names with Stefano's Italian accent. Such a delight!
- Tour of Monkey River with a really old Belizean man named Harrison, who insists on going by "Buck." He had us rub medicinal plants on us, showed us his village, and even ate some termites.
- Listening to the creole. Crazy to think that it's all English words, but said in a way that there's no hope of understanding,

LOWLIGHTS
- The gelataria!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!! Why a lowlight? Because we discovered it the first day and have been back at least once a day since.
- The unnerving way the sound travels, making it seem like people are right in our living room. And the bird that sounds exactly like a screen door opening and shutting, to make doubly sure you never feel completely at ease.
- That it took me until I got married to Tyler to see the crazed look on his face that he gets when there's any kind of insect in the room.
- Being the last to sight all of the animals on the river tour. Sometimes I even tried to fake that I saw them, just for the sake of time, but the guides could always tell since I was looking the wrong way.



The pad.



The pizza.



Just plain rad.



If you look close, you can read the carefully painted sign: "John the Bakerman, right in side...the door."



On the boat ride. What a babe.
