Welcome to my blog on Belize, Central America. I have been writing about my many years of travel (16) in Belize for a long time. Now I have gathered all my blogs together to form a travel-book.
I will update and add to this travel- book from time to time. This will give you the chance to return to it for up- to date info. Or you can check it out to refresh your memory. Or to reread a blog you want to read again.
To make blogs more accessible in a different way , my blog partner Shirley Howarth and I created Chez Belize, a virtual Café and Bar which exists somewhere in the stratosphere. Here you can order travel-foods off the take-out menu and dine on whatever appeals to your travel appetites. You can return whenever you want as you would to a good restaurant.
Let me suggest that you begin by ordering appetizer s from the menu , items #’s 1-3, Thinking Adventure, Arriving in Belize, and the Weather in Belize as tasty morsels which will tempt you to come back and enjoy our blog again.
If you are looking for something bolder, order #18 The Sting Ray Incident. It’s neither fish nor fowl and it may be hard to digest, but some say it’s an acquired taste and you may order it again from time to time.

Dear Brian, always fun to get your post, especially when we are in Belize. We are staying just north of Punta Gorda, and as you’ll know, it is still rainy season. Except for the difficulty drying laundry, the rain just adds interest! Hope you are both well. Best, Frances Giles.

Dear Frances, Thanks for your response. My blog doesn’t do justice to the Punta Gordo area. We visited there on our first trip to Belize 14 years ago, stayed 8 days at TC By The Sea as you enter PG, had a good time but back then it was a very difficult ride and we never returned. Tell me exactly where you are. We have Mayan friends who are from just north of PG.
If you are interested, write something for my blog that will explain that part of Belize that I have ignored. . I’ll give you full credit but that’s all I can give. My blog is a passion, not a pay cheque.
Send your stuff to babineb@silomail.com. I’ll publish it as is or edited if you wish.
Thanks again, Brian
