In the morning I went for a couple of walks, the first 2.5 miles and the second 3 miles. The first one was over the river and up a dirt road looking for toucons, but instead I found goat and horses tied up at the playground.It was not uncommon to find dogs lying in the middle of the road and chickens wandering free. It was raining, the rivers were high, and some of the roads were big puddles. It was raining so hard that the goat was moved to a little more sheltered area when I got back--tied up to the road sign.

In the afternoon we caught a ride with our host to the taxi stand and then took a taxi to San Ignaceo. There was an enormous spider in Marcus' car which hid when we opened the door.

In San Ignaceo we looked around the Friday market, buying some Belize food and some fresh squeezed orange juice. It was still raining hard intermittantly, and the rivers were all really high.

In the afternoon we visited the family I had met a few days earlier and talked about cake making and embroidery. The mom was Manuella, and the two daughters that I talked to most were Margaret and Lucy.
