Riding to town times two

9/9/2011

Now that we have our beach bikes (yay!), we can haul a lot more groceries, meaning that we can start really stocking up on things rather than only buying what we can carry on our backs.  Still, our cargo capacity is not unlimited, especially when we buy large items like papayas or pineapples, so today required two separate bike rides to town, one in the morning, and one in the afternoon.  

In the morning we hit Maria's fruit stand, Super Buy South, and Popular Tortillas; and this afternoon we went to Castillo's hardware, Mash (groceries), Super Buy (more groceries), and Caye Supplies.  It had rained over an inch overnight, so in certain places the road was full of large puddles to dodge.  We are very fortunate to have fenders on our bicycles as the bikes we rented on previous trips did not, and we'd invariably be splashed with sandy colored mud after riding if it had rained recently.

Look closely to see a typical puddle after storms here. A lot of weaving is required to miss them!

Hi Emily --

I am really enjoying your photos and stories from Belize. We had stopped by there 3 separate times during different cruises in the past. It's an awesome place and loved every adventure there!!

You guys look so happy! Become one of the locals for sure :). Have a great week and stay dry (unless of course it is in the sea or the pool)

Thanks Laura, Julianne, and Trish! We are really having a blast. We're staying so busy I can't imagine how I ever had time to work! ;-)

    living in Belize

    Emily & Barry

    We're an adventurous couple, married 27 years, who decided to move to Ambergris Caye, Belize from Chapel Hill, North Carolina for retirement.  We built a condo on the beach  north of San Pedro Town and moved in with our Boston Terrier Paisley in August 2011 and lived there until March 2013.  Ultimately, we decided to return to the US, but we have no regrets and MANY good memories of our time in Belize.  We hope our blog might prove helpful to anyone interested in this lovely country.
