We arrived in San Pedro and it was getting dark out. You get off the water taxi and onto the beach. This is my first view of the island.

We secured ourselves some diving for the next day and then got ice cream while we waited for our resort (resort? Wasn’t really what you think of as a resort.) to send us a person to pick us up. He arrived and less than 10 minutes later we were there.

This was a really nice place. I was impressed. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room.

Travel around the island is almost entirely golf cart. There is an industry on the island that allows for multiple golf cart rental stores to exist. The people who live up-island have “Polaris” – it’s not a golf cart, but it’s related. We went through 3 golf carts while we were there…and I’m told there was a fourth before I arrived (they were staying at this villa before they picked me up at the airport).

Sean and I drove into town to grab some food. We ordered pupusas and then sat at the bar while we waited for them to be made. Sean’s drink is a Dirty Banana (no idea what’s in it) and mine is a Michelada. It is…

1. The juice of 1.5 limes
2. Marie Sharpes hot sauce
3. Salt
4. Pepper
5. A Belikin. That’s the local Belizean beer.
6. This particular variety had tomato juice in it, but others I had on the island didn’t.

SPICY. Our food arrived and I had to down the last of the drink…wherein I learnt that the reason you have the bottle there is so you can re-fill your drink of beer when you get to the bottom where the rest of the mixture has settled. VERY SPICY.

Sean packs his dive bag for the next morning.

Agricola! woo!

I was a vegetable farmer. The orange chips are vegetables.
