Was up at 6 am to watch the Canada vs Sweden gold medal game. Brandyn, Kirsten and Nolan had a jungle tour booked for this morning, so Brandyn saw the scoreless first period before their boat arrived. So Brandyn had to wait until his return later in the evening to learn of Canada's 3 - 0 win to capture the Gold! I must say it was an exciting game!
The trio's day of jungle touring included two boat rides and a bus ride. It started at about 6:40am when the boat from Seaduced Tours arrived at our dock to pick up the three. They then headed west to the mainland. They traveled by both boat and bus inland ending up at Laminia Mayan ruins. They said that it was very impressive. Kirsten said she felt a bit of a thigh burn after the climb to the summit of one of the pyramids. They said that the boat ride on the river through the jungle was pretty good as well. They saw quite a few different animals along the way; monkeys, crocs (not the footwear!), bats and lots of birds. They were hoping to see a howler monkey, but only heard them.
When they got back from the tour it was already after sun down and they were pretty much played out.
So, while the jungle crew were away braving the wilds, Munchkin, Gracyn and I spent the day together. It was awesome! The Peanut was good as gold for us. We went into town for a ride and ended up at Fido's for a beverage and some fries for Gracyn. On the way home we stopped at the Super Buy and Munchkin went in for a few things. Gracyn and I waited out front. Gracyn decided that she liked the young lady manning the sales table and insisted on having her picture taken with her!
We spent the afternoon frolicking in the sand and sun and just having a grand old time! We met a fellow from Ontario, Matthew Brown, who moved down here 2 1\2 years ago and is now selling real-estate here for Coldwell Banker. He offered a lot of very useful information about the island and expat living here. He also said that there are road hockey games a couple nights a week that are an island style shinny! That was

That evening we ate in, Munchkin making a tandoori style of chicken with oven roasted spuds. With the crew played out and another early morning and busy day planned for tomorrow everyone drifted off to bed after a game or two of cards.
Tomorrow; golf on Caye Chapel for the boys, and a trip to "Knock Off Central" in Belize City for the girls.
