Patti, Bobby and Mimi went to the Belize zoo today while I stayed home and cleaned up the rig and made some banana bread.

This is one of the black Jaguar's from the zoo, you can see that he does have the spots under his coat.

Sue, who owns Amigos, had told us she would have her manager call the Mennonite meat delivery truck and ask them to stop by. They arrived around 9:30 and we bought a lot of meat from them. Good steaks, ground beef, roasts, bacon and some other stuff. We froze it and will take it into Guatamala with us. We'll probably hide it as we don't want to give it up if someone decides to look. I filled our freezer for about $20 US.

This is a Kinkajou, a nocturnal animal so they were sleeping.

After everyone came back from the zoo, we drove on to the Cayo district near the Guatemala border. The twin towns of Santa Elena and San Ignacio are a few miles down the road from the Inglewood RV park where we are staying. It was good to see Greg the owner as we pulled in. We went into San Ignacio this afternoon, stopped at Eva's where we got to talk to our friend Bob the owner. He remembered us as well and we spent some time chatting. We hit the bank, the grocery store and the liquor store. I've got to tell one story about Belizean rum. I loved a drink here called just rum and lime and I had tried to duplicate it everywhere. I thought the hint of graham cracker taste was due to the limes, I tried a lot of different types of limes trying to find the one. I also tried using sugar or sugar syrup and a bunch of other stuff. I could never duplicate it. Today I bought a bottle of One Barrel rum, made in Belize, and found the taste! It is in the rum, I thought it was in the limes. I'm buying some more of this rum tomorrow.
