Our first night in New Mexico we camped in Carlsbad Caverns National Park. It was late afternoon, so we set up camp then drove the 7 mile trail that leads back to the bat amphitheater, at the cave’s entrance. Watching the bats come out of Carlsbad Caverns to feed, which they do every night by the

Driving through Mexico to Belize we stopped in San Miguel de Allende, which was beautiful. You can find multiple blog posts and pictures about this city in my history. Now on the way back through Mexico from Belize, we wanted to see a new city, and chose San Luis Potosi, north of Mexico City off

Knowing we would be driving back through Mexico, I started planning the route. Traveling mainly on Mexico Highway 57 in the middle of the country again, I wanted to see some different cities than on the way down to Belize.

Waking up at a specific time without an alarm clock is something I have practiced for years, but still four bells I thought might be pushing it. However, I awoke without a hitch and was on the road by 5:00, on my way to Crooked Tree Village. Crooked Tree is an island village, about 80 miles

We attempted to arrive at the island early on the 10:30 ferry from Belize City, but were told it was having propellor problems, and the next boat wasn’t until 1:30. So I bought tickets for the ride over to Caye Caulker, which only took an hour, and we started to stroll the island in search

Clarissa Falls and the Clarissa Falls Resort is a great place just a short drive from San Ignacio Town. We went here for the second time, since the first time I tried to shoot the falls it was way too bright and the sun washed them out. I was able to get a couple long

So we decided to stay another night in Chetumal, Mexico for a couple of reasons. After 2 long days of difficult driving in the Yucatan, filled with tons of topes, or speed bumps (walls…basically…put at random places), we needed a day to relax. Also we wanted to look into rentals in Belize so I wouldn’t
