SAN PEDRO

HERE IS SOMETHING EVEN I'VE NEVER SEEN AS A "HAPPY CAMPER" IT'S OUR LAUNDRY HANGING OUTSIDE ON A LINE.

DID YOU NOTICE HANNAH, THE DOG, SUPERVISING THE CLOTHES HANGING?

WE'VE BEEN HERE A WEEK ALREADY AND I'VE SETTLED INTO A ROUTINE.  FIRST THING IN THE MORNING IT'S COFFEE, MY INTERNET PAPERS AND BLOGS.  THEN I HOP ON MY BIKE AND GET MY MORNING CINNAMON ROLL AT THE LOCAL BAKERY FOR BREAKFAST.

THIS ISLAND REMINDS OF GONE BY YEARS.  NO SMOKING LAWS, NO CARS, TRAVEL BY BIKE ALL OVER TOWN.  NO BIKE HELMETS, PEOPLE WALKING AND TALKING, THE STREETS ARE SAND......

I LOVE CAYE CAULKER.

THEY ARE HAVING A WATER TAXI WAR.  IT'S A POLITICAL THING, AND ONE COMPANY IN AN EFFORT TO KNOCK OFF THE OTHER COMPANY, HAS LOWERED PRICES.  WE BOUGHT ROUND TRIP TICKETS TO SAN PEDRO FOR $10 (BZD) EACH.  FIVE YEARS AGO WHEN WE VISITED BELIZE WE SPENT OUR TIME ON AMBERGRIS CAYE AND SAN PEDRO, THIS IS THE SAN PEDRO THAT MADONNA SANG ABOUT.

HERE IS THE PICTURE TO PROVE WE WERE THERE.

ACTUALLY WE HATED SAN PEDRO.  IT'S GOTTEN TOO BIG, PAVED STREETS, GOLF CARTS, TOYOTA VANS, AND EVEN DUMP TRUCKS ZIPPING ALL OVER.  JUST TAKE ME BACK TO "GO SLOW" AND CAYE CAULKER. SO BACK WE WENT......

HERE WE ARE ENJOYING A SHRIMP SNACK.....

SAFELY BACK ON CAYE CAULKER.

SWINGING AND GROOVING ......

OH YA, THE SHRIMP.........

HAVE YOU EVER EATEN CONCH?

YOU SIMPLY BEAT IT TO DEATH AND FLAT AND FRY IT UP LIKE FISH.  IT REMINDS ME OF SCALLOPS......

MMMM  GOOD.
