What is the Capital Of Belize?

Belmopan! (well, these are photos on the way to Belmopan this week)

On both Tuesday and today, Phil and I went to Belmopan. It is a beautiful 1.5 hour drive on the Hummingbird Highway. It goes threw the jungle covered mountains. The photos I have included shows how the rows of Orange trees sometimes are planted up along he hills. The crews are out with their machetes cutting the ditches back. There are fires everywhere...like controlled burns to control the jungle from yards and growing areas. Check out the one lane bridge! There are a few of them. I kinda hold my breath when we drive over them.

Today it was in the upper 90's with NO BREEZE inland where we were. I finished the process of getting my work permit. I have now seen the Social Security office, Immigration Office and Income Tax office of Belize. I will also have a new social security number for working in Belize. Its kinda neat. Phil has also just started the process.

We have a nice BIG hardware store in Belmopan. Its not Menard's, but its big! We have a Brodie's grocery store and it has even more than The Price Is Right in Dangriga.

We got a new comforter and curtains for our apartments. I am nesting! Its feeling more and more like home. We moved out little love seat to our office/living room in another room on the resort and are borrowing a table for the time being. Next week a cabinet and desk will go where the TV is and hide all the computer equipment. In a few weeks, we should be getting an island that is being replaced in another suite. Being how we love to cook it will be perfect for "doubling" the size of our kitchen and having room to spread out some more. Its still a work in progress, so excuse the mess!

Our other big comfort of home is The Twins! We have the FSN North on our Dish. We keep watching for Christian and Serena! (and "Mrs. Morneau")
