Machaca Hill

We stopped by this rainforest canopy lodge. While the amenities look incredible, the $3000 fee per night is more than a bit out of our range.

Xmas Colors in Belize

Just some Christmas day images from my trip to Belize.

Literally twittering from the Miami International Airport. Seems several bedraggled finches make terminal C their home.

Better Belize It

The Sleeping Giant

I know how much many of you like the snow, and it looks like much of the United States will enjoy a white Christmas this year. While you warm your chestnuts, I will be heading down to Central America for the holidays to visit with family. But I hope to share as much of the tropical heat with you as I can. As time and wifi allow, I will upload updates from the field.

One of the destinations is the vista pictured here. The plan is to spend Christmas near the mountains of the Sleeping Giant in central Belize. The range is so-called because in person it really does look like a large man in repose (but maybe not so much in the picture). That is his brow, nose and chin to the right and his heaving chest in the center.

I may also get a chance to go diving too and still hold out hope of spotting the elusive Cozumel toadfish (Sanopus johnsoni) someday. It truly is a splendid looking creature in photographs and Belize is supposed to be the right place to look.

In case I don’t get to update soon, here is wishing all you fine readers a Happy Cephalopodmas, Merry Fishmas, Splendid Squidmas, a Heebo Tarvu Day, Happy Monkey, Happy Holothuriday, and a Scintillating Solstice (remember, axial tilt is the reason for the seasons)!

Black Friday

Not-so-black beginning to my post-Thanksgiving Friday.
