Mystic River

I was out for a Sunday drive as I'm wont to do on Sundays even though it was a Monday that day. Well it was a holiday Monday so it sure seemed liked a Sunday. I drove up the Cristo Rey road and collected a great amount of dust in my Chevy Tracker since the back window zipper decided to split.   

Apparently they're not as easy to fix as your run of the mill pants fly so I've been putting it off. Anyway... I ended up at the Mystic River Resort which fulfilled my goal of going somewhere I'd never been before. I was not disappointed. The place is gorgeous. Top pic is one of the cabanas that overlooks the river and next is the dinning room fireplace. 

The outdoor bar also overlooks the river and did I mention you can see the river from the dinning room too? It seems that the river was kind enough to circle around at that point giving wonderful views in just about every place I looked. Last but also beautiful is the view of the river from the bar. I could have stayed all day but heeded the call of the road, and off I went in a cloud of dust. Thanks Tom and Nadege for graciously allowing me to interrupt your special day. Nice place, nice people. I hope to be back. Mystic River Resort is online at: http://www.mysticriverbelize.com/

Ruta Maya Race 2010 San Ignacio

Here is the beginning of the Ruta Maya race 2010 in order of who got under the bridge first. Well this is my hopeful intention but remember I get confused easily so if some are out of order or missing please feel to reprimand me, (but not too harshly.) These pictures have been removed but are still available.

If anyone is interested in larger resolution for prints you can contact me through the web link or at amedeus13@hotmail.com

Brits in Action

Fly In at the Cayo Airstrip

This was a very cool day. Once a year all the pilots get together and fly in to the airstrip near Central Farm. There are ultra-lights buzzing around and taking visitors for a ride, or just hanging about talking to their old flying buddies.





As you can see, they come in yellow or red and are scary as hell since all they really are is a kite with a lawnmower engine. However, these guys know what they're doing and everyone had a great time.






The planes arrived one by one which is a really good thing since flying in tandem should be left to the Blue Angles. I will not refer to the American team because I can only remember their nick name which has something to do with Hawks.





This pilot is what we refer to as a cowboy. I don't know why. There are no cows in the air and they do not hang out the window and twirl lassos. They do however do loop de loops and fly up-side-down much to the delight of the cheering crowd below. He could at least have worn a Stetson.





This is a Belize Defense Force pilot. I'm not sure how the guy in the trees got there before him but I think it was a very good trick.








If memory serves (and it usually doesn't) this plane came from Blue Creek. It is very sleek and has a wicked blue flame on the side. I gotta get me one of those!








This helicopter is flown by Abe and owned by George. Two very nice fellas who I think are also from Blue Creek. Hey! Wasn't the cowboy from there too? Not
fair. You guys have all the planes and stuff.

Okay. that's all for this blog but next one you'll see the Brits in action!
