A shot in the dark

2nd day in Belize.  Woke up to sunshine beaming in.  And warmth...
D cooked up breakfast. We were so focused on the expiration dates we forgot To check the eggs 🥚


What a surprise. 7/12 isn’t bad right?

We walked lots  today down all kinds of streets. Pulled out my “real” camera to document the experience in full experience. 


Many docks to lounge on.

Golf carts are the way to go....

took this for our daughter who has started playing basketball after school....this looks like a fun place to play?

Golf Cart Parking down our street.




We returned to our condo and enjoyed some local tortillas and salsa by the palapa while people watching. One of my favourite things to do...and we have prime location for people watching. Across the way are some palm trees that are both popular for locals and tourists alike.

This is a Palapa

Close by our home from home

Later we went for another walk to try watch the sunset. The streets were starting to feel a little less comfortable so we turned around. We enjoyed a down pour on our return walk. And still enjoyed the colours of the sunset surrounding us.

Sunset Photos....and the usual have to write in the sand :)

Snuck up the stairs to our neighbours deck to take this photo....

Cooked up a “gourmet” dinner and ate out by the palapa. 
One more stroll with our camera in the dark. This time to shoot in the dark and attempt to take a photo of the night sky.
This is the night sky!!!
Yes those are all stars and I'm sure you can pick out Orions Belt?

A little bubbly

This was the very first night that I officially slept well.  Finally transitioned over to the Dutch time zone.... Started the day with by filling the stomach with a good Dutch style breakfast.  If you're not Dutch could you guess what it is? With full stomachs we headed out for the day.  It was a rather frightening start down the skinny Dutch little road.  It barely can handle a bike and a car passing each other.  So to our surprise a massive semi truck was barreling down the road.  We pulled over in a pullout but  became trapped between a large truck and the canal. That canal was not looking too pretty for a swim.... Glad we didn't end up going for that swim and the we had no extra rental car bills to pay as the truck nearly missed the sideview mirror.  After safely arriving to the park n' ride we caught the bus.  This is a fantastic system if you're in Holland!  It cost 5 Euro to park the car and ride the bus for up to 5 people! ...

Trips and treasures

A little while ago I put the link back up on my social media page from a blog about Mother's Day.  Although I get very emotional about the day and the upcoming to the day with my precious Mom being in heaven, I do remember that I have the honour of celebrating motherhood and celebrating with other mothers in my life.  I know it can be a difficult day for many in different ways.   My one little guy who hangs out with me a lot gave me a special treat when I was down....how can you not resist his smile, with a card, cup of water and an apple all delivered with that big smile and even bigger heart. Shortly after that day I was given the privilege of going on a much desired field trip with my daughter.  If you know me at all, or even through this blog you know how much I desire the ocean and the wonders of it.  This trip to Salt Spring Islands did not fail me or my wonder of our wonderful creator.  We have so much more to experience from the ocean..... ...

2021

 Turned the calendar to 2021 a while ago and just have not sat down behind the computer to type away in a while.  I just had those summer 2020 blog posts waiting to be completed.  At last that goal was accomplished and I feel like the rest of 2020 went awash......I made a video to summarize our year and felt like that was good enough to complete the year.   I won't say our 2021 had the most marvellous start.  Our family was in isolation and I can't remember what day it was of 24 days being inside our home that we rolled the new year in.  However we were loved upon by many family members and friends over the time of being indoors.  Also what better time in the world to be "stuck" at home as you can get your grocery deliveries and any other shopping done and delivered all within 24 hours.  We did not suffer.  We may have been a little stir crazy at points, but we made the best of it! Building forts hasn't happened in a long time in our house, b...
