Disconnected in Belize

Rural home in Belize with electricity.
Rural home without electricity.

This land was recently burned to create more room. I could be used for farming, building, or grazing.


A new orchard with the rainforest in the background. This place was burned off to make room for this orchard. The jungle that you see in the background will probably be "slashed and burned" within the next few months/years.


We lost our internet as of today for the rest of the trip. We are using Grant's phone to at least update a bit before we leave. There will be no more pictures however.

Today we went out to the Hol Chan Marine Reserve to snorkel. We saw tons of different fish, sea turtles, rays and sharks. It was an awesome experience swimming next to all of the animals.

Tomorrow we have a free day to ourselves. Everyone is using it to relax at the pool, lay on the beach, shop and get some good food. It will be our last day to enjoy the warm weather before we head back to Nebraska on Saturday.
