First Week in Belize

After packing two houses up and hauling a lot of things to the dump, we loaded an airplane on April 23rd. We go back to our apartment and crashed.

The next day we went to Dangriga to the market and the Price is Right Supermarket. You can find just about anything you need at he store in Dangriga. The prices are like a local convenience store, so they are not too outrageous. I am sure as time goes by I could make a list of things we miss and cant find.

The market is neat to see. The things for sale seem to duplicate themselves as you visit each booth. lots of plastic for sale here. But they are not always that sturdy of a product.

Thought this was cute! Ther is Red Lobster in Belize!

The kids all get out of school for lunch around 11:30. Most businesses close as well to have lunch. These little boys liked having their photos taken. The kids are so cute here! Again, the kids learn English in school and their native language at home. In our village most all people speak English, Spanish, Garafuna, and Creole.

Phil has been enjoying his retirement. And as of this week he has accepted a full time job so I guess it not even semi-retirement. He is now working for the owners leading the maintenance crew and basically organizing the projects that need to be done. Its flexible enough to be able to have the same days off I do most of the time.

Phil has been doing a lot of swimming. He has also been walking into town along the Beach.

I am enjoying working. The days just fly by. Its neat to meet so many people form all over. Today 3 people came by who visited the spa while it was under construction.

Well, we will bring the camera with us more this week as we head into Belmopan. Its the Hummingbird Highway and it goes threw the jungles and mountains. It is so beautiful!!

More soon!
