Breathe in, breath out. Breathe in, breathe out. Ahhhh. That was me yesterday, trying to not stress out and get through what was, frankly, a whirlwind of a day! Can I just tell you how much I love my life! Things are really looking up! We started off with a listing appointment at a couple’s home who ...

Nige reminded me yesterday that our upcoming move is only ten days away – yikes! Where has time gone? We haven’t even started packing yet, but I’m sure we’ll be ok, since we don’t have that much stuff in our little 2 bedroom house. The bulk of what I brought back from the States is still in boxes do ...

Hallelujah! The sun has come back! Yesterday it was a bit overcast in the morning, but by 9 a.m. the sun had appeared and it didn’t go away all day. I certainly hope this a trend that continues. All the locals and tourists alike are sick and tired of the rain. Yesterday was a shopping day. We had lo ...

To wrap up my week’s worth of blogs on my recent trip to Chetumal, Mexico, I thought it would be interesting for you to read about some of the observations I made about the city; some of the contrasts and comparisons to Belize; and one or two surprises it had in store for me.

For our third day in Chetumal, Nige very much wanted to embrace one of the biggest reasons people go there – American style food, shopping, and entertainment. So we decided to cram it all into one day. The Golden Arches in Mexico! We started our day with breakfast at McDonalds, which is located righ ...

For our second day in Chetumal, we decided to actually go visit a nearby town called Bacalar. Nige’s mom recommended it and said it was quite pretty. So instead of driving our own car and possibly getting lost in Mexico, we hired a taxi driver. For a mere $12.50 usd (150 pesos), the 40 minute drive ...

Sorry for the absence folks, but Nige and I just returned from a four-day jaunt over to Chetumal, Mexico. For those of you who’ve never heard of Chetumal (I certainly hadn’t until moving to Belize), lots of Expats, especially those who live in Corozal, travel here to buy U.S. grocery products, alcoh ...

With all the excitement of the Mayan artifacts and human remains being found on our very own Burns Avenue on Monday, January 23, I was not able to report about some of the Chinese New Year celebrations that were also taking place that day. Chinese New Year Celebration on Burns Avenue 1/23/12 Upon ar ...

As if Maya 2012 wasn’t enough fodder to draw attention to the Cayo District of Belize this year, what all of us locals and tourists alike woke up to yesterday morning was something most of us will never, ever forget! As I turned on my computer yesterday morning, I found this blog on Facebook: http:/ ...

Had a blog commenter ask me the other day when she read we were doing a house sitting job, “I’m curious why someone would need a house sitter for one night. Reading your blog for a couple months now, you’ve characterized the area as pretty low crime, except for bus battery issues, and so it seemed o ...
