Belize City, 15th Dec. ' 24

It's Sunday today and blimey is it quiet - just the occasional sound of singing coming out of a door to one of the gazillion churches everywhere in Belize. Yes, all the good, god-fearing, pious and righteous souls are inside big and small buildings of all denominations, and not out shopping - because all the shops are closed. It's deathly quiet today.
After conquering the task of finding breakfast with a couple of the lads staying here, I felt no energy or enthusiasm for joining two American guys on a road trip to a nearby archaeological site. ( I guessed it would have been a slight anti-climax after Tikal, and so I passed on the idea. It seems from their photos later that I was probably right.)
After getting some lunch (tacos) with Kira the owner's help, I spent an hour reading the latest novel I picked up in Guatemala ('Beloved' by Toni Morrison). It's shaping up really well, and I like her writing style in this one.
However, this just made me really and get a bit sleepy, so I went for a walk around Belize city (as distinct from the rest of the country or the Cayes). I'm going to leave visiting Caye Caulker until tomorrow.
A quiet day, and that's alright.Read more
