Some very good friends of ours are misionaries in Belize .

Check this out (picture on the left):

"One day recently, we took a trip to a nearby swimming hole in the river, known only to the locals. We know this because no one else would ever be able to find it—it’s about six miles off the main road, and after driving along through all kids of bush and overgrowth, you turn a corner and suddenly there’s a river going across the road! Tim was a bit tentative to drive across the road, but at the same time we were curious, so he went across the river and back very carefully. We got real excited about that and Ginger took some pictures of how cool our truck was (below). Then we took a dip."



And this(picture on the right):

"About ten minutes later, another truck (similar to ours, though not jacked up as high and without the really big tires) came along and ever so casually put us to shame (picture below). Not only did they cross the river, but then they backed down right into the swimming hole so that the kids could use the back of the truck like a diving board. This gave us a good laugh at ourselves. One of these days, we might just throw our caution to the wind! "

9 folks in a Hilux for a road trip!

"consider that this is quite normal here, and the majority of our trip was on a dirt road not exceeding 20 mph! "

Looks like the Belizean version of a float in the Hal and Mal's St. Patty's Day parade.
