Here we are inside our Palapa watching the rain. This is the third day of rain and today and it is really raining. The two previous days we were able to walk on the beach north of us and south of us without getting too wet checking out all the new developments and some of the restaurants. However, today is not a good day to go outside for a walk. It's pouring! It is a good day to catch up with the blog.
The next several pictures are for the benefit of our friends, Dana and Cathie, who are traveling in Europe. They have shared many pictures on their blog of their dining experiences and we wish to do the same.This is Gary about to enjoy a Belizean lunch made by our tour guide's wife. Chicken, rice and beans, and cole slaw. It was delicious.
Gary, once again, enjoying a Rum Punch on the balcony. It seems appropriate since we are staying at Captain Morgan's.
Last night was Belizean Culture Night which included a large buffet with local artists displaying their wares around the pool. We didn't start with dessert but this is the picture of key lime pie and coconut cake. The main meal included chicken, beef and pork chops with rice, chips and salsa made with pineapple and beans, in addition to plantains.
I'm not sure whose plate this is, but it looks like he went overboard at the buffet!

The open dining room at the resort is very nice. It overlooks the pool and the beach. We have had several dinners here and they have been wonderful. We had snapper and chicken this night.
Everyone needs to experience a "Philly Cheesecake"
sandwich while in Bellize??
Can you guess what this is? Our guide stopped
along side the road to pick this off a tree.
It was a Cashew Tree! The yellow is the fruit that
can be eaten and the nut at the end is the cashew.
No wonder cashews are so expensive. One nut at
a time has to be processed. That's the real cashew
on the right.
