One Year Anniversary Celebration

To celebrate our one year anniversary here in Belize, Dennis and I took a little day-trip to Big Rock Falls in the Pine Ridge Mountains outside of San Ignacio.  We had recently heard about the falls from our friends Dee Dee and Charlie and they kind of told us how to get there.  There are not many road signs in Central America.  But we found a map on line and made our way there without any problems.  It was much closer than we thought and it was free!

It took us about an hour to get there on some very interesting gravel roads. We drove passed a place called Blancaneaux, which I guess is owned by Francis Ford Coppola. We were the only people there and it was wonderful.  The falls were spectacular and the water was beautiful and not very cold at all.  In these photos  I am about as far as I could go because the rocks were too slippery.  Right below the falls is a perfect round pool.  It almost looked man-made.

I really like this photo.  It should be in a brochure for Belize!

I thought that this looked like someone put this rock here.

Dennis likes this one because of how the lines work their way out
of the photo.  Also you can play "find Vicki".

This was only one set of steps out of about seven.  It was a little
rough getting back out.  I guess you can compare it to a trip down
to Fall Creek Falls in TN.

I can never jump in without holding my nose.
The water was perfect!

Yes that is Dennis jumping into the water!  It was the kind of place
that just asked you to take a swim.

It was a perfect get away and we hope to go back again some time.  If any of you wants to go we can take you!  We are very blessed and just happy to be here, and looking forward to another year!

We love you guys!
