On the name of this blog

I chose the name of this blog primarily because it has a nice alliterative ring to it, and describes three features of Belize that succinctly encapsulate its appeal:  there are three species of toucans that live in the jungles of Belize (keel-billed, emerald toucanet, and the collared aracari); tarpons are a type of large fish that inhabit the flats and reefs of the Caribbean, and the temples refer to the numerous amazing structures built by the Mayans.

  2. Hey Cameliam,

    I was wondering if you were at all interested in attending for Juliana of the dark realms or master of cruelties, both of which I have newly acquired. Also I thought you might like to know that I finished all the Indiana Jones movies and they were all great! Hope to see you soon (Skype). Yours truly, Galen.
