Kayaking on Joe Taylor Creek

Our guide showed us these little nuts looking this that we could pick and eat.  They are called poconobios!They are about the size of a golf ball and brown.  You bite off the top of it, them peel off the outer shell.  Inside is a very haring seed or pit.  You suck on this then spit it out! It tastes like citrus!

 

The first weekend in Punta Gorda we all took a kayaking trip down Joe Taylor Creek.  It is only about five minutes from where we live.  The river started out really open, but we went further we were under a canopy! At some points it got so tight we had to paddle single file under a tiny passage! The entire river is lined by mangrove.  They call it the plant that walks because it never stops growing and looks like legs.  The Belize coastline is lined with this mangrove.
