World Tapir Day was this weekend, and the Belize Zoo crowned April the Tapir - ceremonially they crowned her paper mache double - as the new Miss Belize in honor of her 30th birthday.  The yearly event at the zoo was attended by 100's of students from around Belize, and the ceremonial crowning was done by four students from the Buena Vista school in Spanish Lookout.  April is the oldest living tapir in a zoo, already having outlived her life expectantcy by 5 years, in the world.  Happy birthday, April!

Xunantunich long before the hand cranked ferry!  That skiff doesn't look like it can hold that many people.  Many Cayo sites can be seen in this classic 1975 video that the Benque House of Culture posted.  Central Farm, Spanish Lookout, Belmopan, and Xunantunich, before the serious excavation, are all on there.  Cayo starts just after the 3 minute mark.

"2 Heat for MX 2.  This is the helmet cam on Marlon Dueck.  He was competing against four other riders.  Carlos Lopez, Carl Froese. Nathan Thiessen, and Shawn Krahn.  Marlon wiped out in the mud bog in the 1st heat and tore out his shoulder.  He fought hard against Carlos Lopez, but ultimately Carlos did take First Place."

Crested Caracara Reserve

Crested Caracara Reserve | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

One of the most amazing views of Cayo can be seen from the Crested Caracara Reserve, which is in Central Farm.  Definitely a great spot for a small party or meeting.  You can see for miles and miles, and even beyond Spanish Lookout from the deck of the palapa.  The San Ignacio Resort Hotel does bird watching tours there too.  http://www.sanignaciobelize.com/belize-birding-tours

 

"The Crested Caracara Reserve, behind Running W on the George Price highway, has some spectacular views.  They have trails up the mountain if you want to get some exercise while seeing a variety of wildlife."
