- About 50% of people think I’m Belizian… until they hear my awesome tex-mex gringo spanish and I see them throw up in their mouths out of how badly I’m mangling their language. My bad!
- Everyone speeds around the island on golf carts, which to me seems hard to take yourself seriously in one of those, maybe we need this in the USA to avoid road rage? I haven’t seeen any golf carts that are souped up with spinning rims or a wing yet though.
- Shoes are totally over rated here… no one wears them, which is fine but FYI there are dogs and there umm remnants around, if you know what I mean.
- Plantains with every meal… I think people here just can’t think of anything else to do with them.
- Our vacation sleep schedule has evolved to nursing home lights out hours, 9:30 PM – 5:30 AM – No Jello though.
- I spent half of yesterday singing that damn “HUNNNNNGRYYY EYEEEES” song from Dirty Dancing, damn you Patrick Swayze. Shout out to Justin Haworth cause I’m pretty sure I’ve seen him play his leg like a guitar to this one.

Sounds like you two are fitting right in with the Belizian lifestyle! What is the "old town" architecture like? I'm sure with the population explosion there is lots of new building….but what is the original city like? I think you may have found a perfect laid back vacation spot maybe worthy of returning to at some point in time. What about the manatees? Did you get to go swimming with them today?

Um … ALWAYS wear your shoes, even if they're just flip flops. Don't make me tell you the story of my sister-in-law who got some funky worm living in her foot from walking around barefoot!!! And the after-story of how painful it was to dig it out of her foot once it had gotten all happily settled up in her foot. And no this wasn't done in a hospital or even by a dr but by a woman in her hut with a pin of some sort.
