Today we met a local Belizian who happened to be a fan of the Seattle SuperSonics. He even knows the tragedy that is Clay Bennett. In only a couple of days here, everyone we’ve come across has been exceptionally friendly. The weather on the other hand, not so friendly.
We spent most of the day lazing around, napping, reading (we finally started reading Barak Obama’s, Audacity of Hope), some wandering and some minimal sitting in the sun between rain squalls. The wind though is quite brutal and drops the temperature quite a bit. We did venture out for dinner and made it down to the highly recommended Wendy’s in Placencia Village. In Seattle, it probably would be like going from our house to Downtown. The roads aren’t great to start with but because of the rain, they are horribly rutty. It took about an hour via the local bus. It was fun though to get out of the Maya Beach area and see something different. Keeping true to eating weird food, Kevin had the Conch. It’s not as disgusting as pigeon or guinea pig, but unique nonetheless.
Kevin’s favorite part of the day happened when we made it back from dinner. He spent almost two hours playing outside under the moonlight with his camera. The shot below is my favorite.
where’s the photo?
What does conch taste like?
i said the photo was coming soon, sheesh!! and conch tastes like a blend of mussel and chicken (says kevin)
