sign — On Monday night I went to Brian Brunius' office in Union Square to do a reiki exchange with a bunch of other people.

sign — ...I spotted this excellent pigeon costume complete with spoofed NYC Parks & Rec sign!

sign — The next morning, Kim and I grabbed breakfast in downtown Reading.

sign — When you see Buttzville, you know NYC's not that much further!

sign — Oh, you know, just a pack of dudes randomly wandering your neighborhood with sports equipment.

sign — Afterwards, Grant and I went to the incredible Scandinave Spa to soak our sore legs.

sign — ...before we got back on the trail and started our descent.

sign — ...took a quick photo of the map in the (hopefully unlikely event) that we'd need to consult it...

sign — We went to Magic Jewelry to get photos taken with the AuraCam6000 Polaroid camera they have.

sign — ...Black Sabbath's new record.

sign — Later that afternoon, I had my first appointment at the legendary Richie's Guitar Shop.

sign — ...and when I looked around for Maddy, she had totally disappeared. I had a 2-minute freak-out where I sprinted around like a nut before I found her near one of the soccer fields.

sign — The church down the street had put out a bunch of free flowers. I grabbed a few of the lovely white roses.

sign — Excellent Anti-7-eleven art protesting the chains recent arrival on Ave A.

sign — When I see a restaurant that has a logo like this and is still in business, I think to myself, "The food there's gotta be FANTASTIC."

sign — On the way home I picked up a few late-night Guaco Locos. Happy February 2013!

sign — Later Sunday night, I went to the UCB theater in Chelsea...

sign — This was one of the easiest....

sign — ...to the Caye Caulker airport to buy a ticket for my flight back to Belize City the next day.

sign — The end of the path had a two-storey tall observation tower that you could climb to get a better look at the island's famous red-footed boobies.

sign — I had dinner at a Middle Eastern place because they had an old wiener dog running around outside.

sign — I managed to get a ticket on the 9am ferry over to Caye Caulker, a small, 5-mile-long coral island about 20 miles out further away from the mainland in Belize City.

sign — WARPAINT Beauty Supply.

sign — Rule 3: Don't chase duck-billed monkey with hatchets!

sign — Hit the jackpot at Maxim's Chinese Restaurant. Open late...

sign — Busy day! Went back to the hotel for a nap.THIS, by the way, is the hilarious / terrifying entrance to my hotel:
Hotel upstairs, MEATSHOP downstairs!.

Sure, you're welcome to stay here. As long as you can overcome your fear of the obvious horror-movie danger of us murdering you in your sleep and SELLING YOU AS FOOD in conveniently-located meatshop downstairs. Haven't you seen the movie, Hostel, you idiot?

sign — Crumpling a leaf I pulled off an All Spice tree to enjoy its wonderful fragrance (smells like cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves all in one).

sign — After the Natural History exhibits, I checked out the gardens. Most of the things are this way!

sign — ...to the gates of Xunatunich!

sign — Slept in and woke up to an overcast day.

sign — I walked around for a bit looking for a room and found one at the Hotel Mallorca. View of the street out my room's window.

sign — This sign is another example of something I found really charming about Belize. They're an English colony and English is the official language, but a lot of the signs there phonetically spell out the local pronunciations of words! SO GOOD!

sign — After striking out at more than ten places, I finally found a room at the aptly named Deb & Dave's Last Resort!
