<div id="ygrps-yiv-1507645075">As promised, I have posted some more pictures of BZGT.  I&#39;ve uploaded a <br/>
series of images from Aranal, a town that has the border slicing <br/>
through it.  There are plenty of shots of the infamous football field.  <br/>
Please advise if the images are too slow to load.  I am experimenting <br/>
with my Mac, and may not be reducing the file sizes enough.  If anyone <br/>
knows a better way to do this, let me know!<br/>
<br/>
Some notes:<br/>
<br/>
The fine folks from the Belize Defense Force showed me their topo map <br/>
and allowed me to take a picture of the GPS reading.  This was done <br/>
standing on the border.<br/>
<br/>
There are stone cairns that have been placed every 2km along much of <br/>
the border.  However, locals have been taking the rocks, and the cairns <br/>
slowly disappear.  I found the remnants of one of these cairns.<br/>
<br/>
The border is pretty much invisible here, but it does run through the <br/>
football field at an angle, almost corner to corner.  One goal in each <br/>
country.<br/>

And there are plenty more non-border pictures too.  And more to come!<br/>
