It started back in 2007 with my wife Gloria saying, "We should look at getting a place in Cabo let's go on a holiday and leave the kids at home" I don't know how it happened, but we end up vacationing in Belize. Since then I have been totally preoccupied with the thought of buying land and building a retirement dream home. Now 50 acres later, it looks like it just might happen.

Pics from trip out with Glen December 2011








Another property access culvert going in.











One more time around the block 
with grader and packer. We did some damage to the roads with the track hoe installing culverts and trimming in the ditches. 





Agave plants at 40 ft on center along the Southern Highway. 
That's a flower bed about 1500 ft long.
When mature they will have wicked spines about 3 ft tall. Not a cactus nor a aloe they are a member of the asparagaseae family
They will look awesome and we can make our own tequila, glug glug.


A typical outdoor kitchen stove in the village of Silk Grass. They do have a gas stove that runs on bottled butane but that would only be used during the worst of weather. Butane is expensive and heavy to carry a tank for refill on the bicycle. 
This at my friend Juan Pops home.






This is Juan's daughter Marisela in the great room at their home. Note the outdoor kitchen is beyond to the left and the indoor kitchen is to her right.










Here is Adriano's wife I can't remember her name. She is in her out door kitchen. Yes look closely down to the right. There is no electricity nor running water at their home. Water is down the block at the communal water tap. I had just dropped off an empty five gallon water jug for their use. Their sweet ride is parked in the drive way.








Some of the Pop kids. Do they look worried that the play station is broken?
