History of Poor People (Joke)
Day: 229
So, my brother Ed asked me today “What are we looking at this morning?” (He actually has some Mayan background)
“I am pretty sure it’s a history of poor people…” I jokingly replyed. I know, completely un-politically correct (and they are probably not as well off as the western world because we exploited them at some point in the past to make ourselves rich) , but I thought it was funny.
We wandered around Blue Hole National park early in the morning then drove to the western side Belize to see the Mayan ruins of Xunantunich and tomorrow get up to Caracol.
Found a small hostel like place with a kitchen, bought a bunch of beer and burrito makings and settled in for the night.

The people there may be poor now, but at their height of civilization the Mayans were a pretty amazing society.
I didn’t realize that Belize is part of the Yucatan peninsula. My wife has been telling me since I met her that she wants to go there some day. Guess I better take her sometime
