A farmer at the market. We saw some Monnonites on a canoe trip and they were quite rowdy and having a good time. Some were deaf and used sign language to communicate. The men's clothing varied from the more traditional clothing you see here to more "fashionable" clothes and a few were shirtless. The women all wore full length dresses and head scarves, similar to what Catholic nuns wear. They were friendly and wished us well. I hope I get the chance to visit one of their communities before we leave Belize.
