While in Belize we were hosted by Ian Anderson’s Cave Branch Adventure Co. & Jungle Lodge and participated in the “River of Caves” Cave Tubing where we met our new spider friend.

Although I think the spider took an unnatural liking to me.

Spicy pepper heat that is. I am a spicy foods person. It does not matter what type of food it is, the spicier the better. Maybe it stems from my development as a child.

Signs in Tbilisi, Georgia lead you to it from over 5 kilometers away. Security guards watch over the door in Baku, Azerbaijan like it was a posh nightclub.
