Living it in Livingston

After 11 days companionship with the two UK gringos we said our goodbyes this morning as our road has come to an end. They headed up to Belize while Im heading for Honduras. It was a fun time guys. I hope you had a fab time in Caye Caulker and dont forget to go to the Split ;)

As for me I am staying in Livingston for a couple of days. Came here yday with a speedboat up the river through the impressive ¨mongroves¨ and forest. Livingston is an intersting place, somewhat Mayan, somewhat Caribbean. You get the black garifuna people and the Mayan looking Guatemalans all in one place. It is defintely a place to relax and not do much. Hence, my time on the computer today (plus is it kind of rainy today).

I am staying at Casa de los iguanas with a dozen other backpackers just chilling and relaxing and having a buff or two. This is like green heaven... my gosh. Little a´dam indeed. It is cool though....

Tonight I signed up for a Garifuna cooking class and we will make the local dish called Tabado, which is some sort of seafood stew in coconut milk. Will be interesting and mmmmm so good to eat! Last night I had BBQed shrimps and that was just delicous....aaaaah I have missed seafood. Love it!

  2. Hi Bali!

    Nice to hear from you :)

    We heard about the earth quake in Haiti and that it was pretty devastating over there. Strangly enough we had a small earth quake here in Livingston the day before Haitis´s but it was so small (i didnt even notice it as i was walking on the beach but the people in the hostel said the whole house or hut as it is was shaking).

    But thanks for being concerned and I had no idea haiti is 1971 km from here :=)

    Speak to you soon and enjoy salsa!
