Dangriga Town

Here are a few places in Dangriga we frequent.

The post office Our PO Box
OK the first set at the 01-100 or so. the next set is the 200's and the third set are the 100's.

Most all the restaurants in the Hopkins area buy fresh corn tortilla from here. They use them for fresh chips... Good stuff!

Making corn masa

This is what forms them, cooks them and then sends them down the line to be packaged and sold.

Our favorite place... A&D hardware.

You order all your things at the counter, they write it up, then another person checks the receipt then you go over to the cash counter to pay. So the other day it took about 45 minutes to get 5 items. But the guys who work there are very helpful and fun to visit with. They keep a tight system on their inventory, that is for sure!

They call Phil "Mr. Spa" sometimes.

You have to time any trips to Dangriga very carefully. All government businesses close form 12-1 or 1:30. Many of the stores as well... like A&D, but the "Chinese stores" (most little groceries stores) stay open. Also if you are not at the front door at 7:50 when the bank opens... you can expect to stand in line for at least 30-60 minutes to get to a teller. If you go just before lunch or in the early afternoon, its not as bad. Never go the day before a holiday! And Mondays and Fridays are not so good either.
