Yaxha and Belize

February 22 Saturday 2014 Belize
We go to Yaxha where survivor was filmed in Guadatemala. Our guide Rolando was there helping with the filming in 2003 it took 2 years to film He was able to bring his family to the site. We didn't walk the 250 steps required to get to Yaxha only 9 went . Our bus driver took us birding. We saw small toucans and the large one with the huge beak. We also saw a roadside hawk. It was like night and day when we crossed the Belize border. Guatemala had a lot more poverty. There was a real Caribbean feel in Belize. The Amish and the Mennonites are also here plus a large Asian group , so a real mixed bag.
