Courage to do the ATM Cave
Actun Tunichil Muknal - the ATM Cave, has been one of those tour activities I knew I would choose not do. It is physically challenging - swimming, crawling, climbing pulling pushing, creeping, and hiking and walking. Not me - the aging hippie, Jason's mom, sedentary, overweight and prone to hurting myself while out of the country. Well, my Archaeology class decided we would go as a group to see what our professor was so excited about.
Here's a good posting from YouTube of the cave interior:

ATM is by now, a well known sacred Maya cave, big and deep, way up in a river valley. Deep in the jungle of Belize, south of the village of Teakettle, the hiking trail runs along the Roaring Creek River.
Here are my photos and I'll add more as the others share their photos.

Testimonials from Clients, Friends and Family
Client Tesitmonials:
January 2009
How can you beat great efficiency and a bubbly personality
combined?? Accolades to Cynthia Reece for making our search and acquisition of property in Belize almost painless. Most communication was via email which decreased expenses and increased response time. Her service was focused, courteous, professional, expeditious, and creative. The few problems we encountered were rectified in a reasonable period of time. Best of all, Cynthia is always cheerful and enthusiastic. Keep up the good work!!! George & Lynn Marra
To Potential Land Investors,
Buyer Beware-- The laws and regulations concerning land transactions outside the USA are markedly different from American law and many Americans have fallen victim to unscrupulous vendors and conmen. There is nothing more important than dealing with honorable agents who understand the law and protect your interests. Cynthia Reece is a person of impeccable honesty and professionalism and I highly recommend her, without hesitation, as the person you should deal with in Belize.
Sincerely, Steven Dannucci

"I would just like to say how friendly, honest and efficient Rainforest Realty have been in their dealings with me. Their knowledge of the area and market and their helpful, unbiased advice has been second to none. I would especially like to mention Cynthia, who was my direct contact, for her responsiveness and integrity. I strongly recommend anyone who wishes to buy or sell property in Belize to use them."

Earth Hour March 28, 2009 8:30 pm
Earth Hour What its all about?
It’s as simple as a flick of the switch.
What began as a campaign to get Sydneysiders to turn their lights off, has grown to become one of the world’s biggest climate change initiatives. In 2009, at 8.30pm on March 28, people around the world will turn their lights for one hour – Earth Hour. We’re aiming to reach one billion people, more than 1000 cities, all joining together in a global effort to show that its possible to take action on global warming.
Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia with 2.2 million homes and businesses turning their lights off for one hour. Only a year later and this event had become a global sustainability movement with up to 50 million people across 35 countries participating. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.
Earth Hour 2009 is a global call to action to every individual, every business and every community. A call to stand up, to take responsibility and to get involved in working towards a sustainable future. Iconic buildings and landmarks from Europe to The Americas will stand in darkness. People across the world will turn off their lights and join together in creating the vital conversation about the future of our precious planet.
Over 64 countries and territories are participating in Earth Hour 2009. This number grows every day as people realise how such a simple act, can have such a profound result in affecting change.
Earth Hour is a message of hope and a message of action. Everyone can make a difference.
