FUNNY THINGS THAT GO BY

I have to tell you all of some of the funny things we see here. These things are all very common to us now and we often don’t even notice them anymore.

You can be sitting down in an area surrounded by concrete and then suddenly a huge crab will just wander sideways past your feet. Or you ride down the road and have to swerve around the giant crab that is crossing the road. At first we would grab each other and say, check this out, and watch for ages, now we just say, there goes a crab.

Driving home on the bus, we had to stop while a bunch of horses crossed the road. We were on the main highway at the time, but the horses have right of way. Or while in the middle of Belize City we see a horse walking along, all by itself. While driving home from Belize City we pass 5 horses asleep on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. Again now we just say, there goes a horse.

The scorpions that walk through the house. I remember the first time I saw one I nearly died right there on the spot. My heart jumping out of my chest, adrenaline pumping through my veins. Now one will walk past centimeters from my foot and I just say to Dave, there goes a scorpion.

Massive bread and butter sized spiders that pop unexpectedly out from nowhere and run across you toes as you sit outside, even inside sometimes. Now we just say, there goes a spider.

The people constantly trying to break into our house in the night, even three guys at one time. Now we hear a noise and go to see what it is and say there goes a burglar.

These are just a few of the things that at first amazed us as to us it was rare to see if ever, but now we are so used to seeing the unusual we don’t even notice.
