how ben almost died and other stuff.......

omg there are mosquitoes here! they attacked us at dinner. in the mountains it was 18-20 in the day and about 12-15 at night and there were no bugs. hiking was wonderful with no bugs. but down here in the city near the coast they are here......just when i was thinking how lucky we were to have no bugs.

a funny story i forgot to talk about before was the one when i almost became a young widow.

ben and i were hiking in la tigra and we saw a beautiful butterfly, i was anxious to try and photograph it. and ben and i followed it down the trail a bit, it landed and i hurried to catch kinda running over top of ben who lost his footing and one foot slipped off the cliff ! yep he nearly went down about a 75 ft drop down the mountain. he was not that pleased with me and accused me of trying to kill him. he says i pushed him but i deny that i did.... he was okay though and i couldn't help laughing about it and the shocked look on his face right after when it happened. with the commotion i lost sight of the butterfly and did not get a photo.

we both laugh now.....

so i hope the hotel in belize city has an internet connection on monday night and hopefully i can post then.
