It probably doesn’t come as a surprise that I’ve really enjoyed my two trips to Belize and there are some really clear reasons why. Here are four of them. I’m sure the minute I hit ‘Publish’ on this post I’ll Continue reading Four Things I Love About Belize
It wasn’t until a bit over a year ago that I tried both of these for the first time. It was a snorkeling trip with Raggamuffin Tours on Caye Caulker that introduced me to them. Raggamuffin didn’t let me down Continue reading Belizean Favorites: Rum Punch and Shrimp Ceviche
One of my missions for this trip to Belize was to enjoy more traditional food. I started with the most logical option…finding the best Belizean Stewed Chicken with Rice and Beans. In the first week of my stay in Belize Continue reading Stewed Chicken with Rice and Beans in Belize

Today was my second and my Mom’s first visit to ATM. It was tied for my favorite things to do in Belize when I visited in December 2010. Today I wasn’t sure what to expect…would it be exactly the same?…would Continue reading Walking in the Steps of Mayans at ATM (Actun Tunichil Muknal)
