Belize – Poor man’s Acapulco
My first day was what I hoped for – quiet and beautiful. With two weeks to this tiny Island of Ambergris Caye is 15 nautical miles north of Belize City. The island is about 25 miles long and 1 mile wide! About 1/2 mile to the east of San Pedro in the Caribbean, is a […]
Last day from Belize a surprise
My last night I decided to splurge and have a fancy Belizean seafood meal. I went to Anglers Seafood house. I ordered their special and it was great. I was alone in the restaurant until a gentleman walked in and sat next to me. I invited him to join me and he did. He turned […]
Last day in Belize
Thursday night, I just hung around our little Conch shell Inn. The B&B / hotel has just 12 units and is sandwiched between two bars and on the beach. The place is owned by someone in CA and run by Vivian, like more of a den mother. Very sweet and vivacious. She and her two […]
Cacophony of Belize and serenity

The protected reef is about 1/2 mile from our shore and provides tranquil […]

Monday
Secret Beach and Overseas bar
Beautiful day at Secret Beach. A bone rattling (rough on back and neck fusions). Rental cart feels every small and speed bump. After a 45 minute trip (3miles) you feel very shaken but stirred by the beautiful beach and crystal water. Open up this night photo moon above! IMG_0752 Mike Nash song SAYS IT […]
Slow day -a bit rainy
Spent the day reading by the beach, ducking the brief rain squalls Everything here is very quiet . this is the first “off” season week (after Easter). Streets are virtually empty at night.
6th day is Friday?
Finally decompressing enough to get more adventurous. While I understand weather is great in Chicago, it is beautiful here 77-84* sometimes windy, but enough to keep you comfortable. I spent the day reading and in the sun then went swimming and ended up at Palapa bar to great music, sing and dancing! everything […]
Snorkeling and photos
Another beautiful day in Belize ( yes I missed a day posting) . Not as windy, but hotter. Normally the sun rises behind a marine layer, but clears out to a beautiful sunny day with a light breeze – 12 mph. I went on a half day snorkel with about 8 people on a boat […]
