Description
This photo was taken last year on my honeymoon as I was traveling up the Belize river to visit the ruins of Lamanai. (You can view the ruins here: Lamanai Mayan Ruins) These two natives were fishing along the river in a traditional shallow draft canoe carved from the trunk of a local tree. As we passed, they waved and proudly held up a fish about the size of a McDonalds hamburger. ;o) They may be wearing modern clothing, but they are living as their people have for thousands of years.
The original photo needed a little something extra, so I played around with it in Photoshop until I achieved the finished product you see here.

BELIZE
Native American people known as the Itzae were the original occupants of what is now Belize (formerly British Honduras). Belize, together with Guatemala and southern Mexico, formed part of the Mayan Empire. In Belize, the Mayas built the cities of Lubaat
