On Friday May 17th Liz arrived here in Belize for an extended visit! We have been planning to visit me for sometime. Her first weekend here we traveled to Caye Caulker. Caye Caulker is a beautiful little island located about 9 miles off the coast of Belize. We stayed at a nice guest house, Tree Top Guests House, for two nights. The accommodations were excellent, very clean, hot water, and no bugs.
While on Caye Caulker we enjoyed the sun, sand, and surf. On Saturday we went snorkeling in the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, where we saw a ton of fish, sharks, coral, turtles, and two manatees! This was the best snorkeling trip that I had been on so far. We left Caye Caulker Sunday morning and began the long journey to Punta Gorda, making a brief stop at the National Agriculture and Trade Show in Belmopan. We arrived in Punta Gorda Town around 8:00pm, approximately 12 hours after leaving Caye Caulker. It was an excellent weekend.
Monday Liz and I walked around town, stopped at market to buy some fruits and vegetables, and grabbed a bite to eat. During the first week of Liz’s visit we helped the Small Business Resource Center (SBRC) a newly established organization funded by the European Union. More to come soon.
