A collection of orchids and carnivorous plants are maintained here. This is where Darwin hypothesized that the orchid Angraecum sesquipeda was pollinated by moth with a long proboscis. This was discovered to be true, 21 years after Darwin's death. https://principleintopractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/kitchengarden.jpgKitchenGardenThe Kitchen Gardens. Not much going on this time of year, but in summer these beds are full. This is where Darwin did experiments on pin-eyed and thrum-eyed primroses.https://principleintopractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/sandwalk.jpgSandwalkThe Sandwalk at Down House, also sometimes known as the Thinking Path, was where Darwin would walk three times a day (health permitting). There is a walk down around the property with a loop in the woods, and Darwin would walk laps on the circuit deep in thought. He would kick rocks from one side to the other to keep track of his laps, as his mind was usually on matters other than his number of "reps".https://principleintopractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/wornstone.jpgWornstoneA reconstruction of "The Wormstone".

He had a distinguished funeral at Westminster Abbey and is interred near the monument for Sir Isaac Newton. https://principleintopractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/downe-churhc.jpgDowne ChurchThis is a picture of Downe Church (not mine) where Darwin would walk every Sunday. Darwin lost faith in religion after the death of his first daughter, and while he would walk his family to church on Sunday he would not enter the church. This is where his wife, Emma, is buried (Darwin is buried in Westminster Abbey). 2014-03-13T13:13:33+00:00monthlyhttps://principleintopractice.com/2014/02/18/the-voyage-of-the-endeavour/https://principleintopractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/bought.jpgboughtAdmission time- Label something “Evolutionary” and I am 27% more likely to purchase it.https://principleintopractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/tortoise.jpgTortoiseThese giants are believed to live over 200 years, though it is hard to be sure since we haven’t been studying them that long. https://principleintopractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/hiding.jpghidingUnfortunately, this method of hiding didn't save tortoise from hungry sailors. Darwin writes how sailors would flip these hiding beasts over and carry them off to the ships for storage. Darwin also wrote about his attempts to ride these massive creatures!https://principleintopractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/landilunch.jpglandIlunchLusher pastures for this land iguana near Urvina Bay. https://principleintopractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/tagus.jpgTagusTagus Cove- One evening we stopped in Tagus Cove- an area where Darwin landed. There is graffiti in this cove, as it was traditional (until recently) to leave the name of your boat on the cliffs (some are amazingly high up). The earliest inscription we saw was from 1836, the year after Darwin visited. https://principleintopractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/tagus2.jpgTagus2A [disappointingly] brackish pond. https://principleintopractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/nationalpark.jpgNationalParkThe National Park manages 97% of the land of the Galapagos (only 3% is habited). The Charles Darwin Research Center does a lot of research, but only the national park can change policy and initiate change in the park.https://principleintopractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/babyt.jpgBabyTEggs from different subspecies are hatched and reared in captivity on Santa Cruz (and there are two other tortoise breeding centers elsewhere in the archipelago). When they are large enough to be released they are tagged and released. These efforts have generally been very successful and the tortoise population is recovering nicely. While they claim the number painted on the babies backs are for identification purposes, I secretly hope there is some illicit tortoise racing going on after hours!https://principleintopractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/fishmarket2.jpgfishmarket2A bit more anthropomorphizing...

I particularly like the little fellow toting a flower. It’s impressive that these teeny little ants actually beat a path into the grass as they work. https://principleintopractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/orangetree.jpgOrangeTreeLife is abundant in Belize.

We saw a number of medicinal and edible plants there, including this Cassava.https://principleintopractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/orangeharvest.jpgOrangeHarvestSpeaking of Oranges… Talk about something you probably wouldn’t see in the states. These workers were catching a ride as this tractor sped down the highway laden with oranges.

These are one of the things doctors learn about in med school but will never see in the US. Cholera causes MASSIVE fluid loss by diarrhea. Cholera cots are designed with a hole in them so a bucket can be placed under the patient to measure fluid loss. Replacement of fluid and electrolytes with Oral Rehydration Therapy is amazingly effective for this otherwise very deadly disease. 2014-02-07T16:37:43+00:00monthlyhttps://principleintopractice.com/2014/02/05/random-ramblings-belize-part-1/https://principleintopractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/gibnut.jpgGibnutThis is stewed Gibnut, an animal also known as "the Royal Rat" (because this is what was served to Queen Elizabeth when she visited Belize- incidentally, she hasn’t returned since). It was very tasty (and quite fatty). Meats (chicken, beef, or pork) are frequently served stewed with rice and beans (and as with this dish, some plantain). https://principleintopractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/coconut-milk.jpgCoconut MilkOne of the cool things I did on vacation was help my friend make coconut milk.

They are very involved in agricultural pursuits there. https://principleintopractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/myhaul.jpgMyHaulMy haul- I finally got to try “Apple Bananas”, which I wrote about a year ago, as well as culantro- a herb that tastes like cilantro but looks very different (it is in the bottom left). Also featured: lettuce, scallions, dill, zucchini, jalapenos, sorrel, star fruit, custard apple, bread fruit, sapodillas, melon, papaya, jicama, beets, carrots, and a pile of citrus!
