Green Iguana Park

San Ignacio, Belize

Betta no litta. That's what the sign at the entrace says. Its Creole for "don't litter." And knowing that makes me seem smarter. There are dozens of iguanas up in trees, lounging above the emerald colored, sand bottomed Mopan Rover, which originates in nearby Guatemala. Locals eat them if the police don't catch them first. Tourists just take pictures before jumping off the rickety wood bridge into the unknown future that the high school students getting a lecture nearby ponder.

The toilet has a hubcab on a chain covering it up. Corrugated steel forms a roof. Ceiba trees grow wild a few feet away. Shack in paradise, or a little bit of it.
