We ate esparnza’s one last time Yum Fry Jack’s. went to stick my toes in the sand one last time. Short taxi ride to the airport. In San Pedro I was allowed to bring a gallon jug of water on the hopper plane. I saw unattended bags. It was a small airline to Belize City. We checked in a little early to come home so we looked around the shops in the airport. Then Steve & I went to Jet’s Bar to have one last Belikin Beer. On our way home we had to stop in Houston and had to go though customs line was long but went well. Had to check our luggage back in then on to our next flight. We had to go to the other side of the airport. Had a sandwich for a snack and use my debit card for the time in 2 ½ weeks that weird for me because at home that’s how I normally pay. the whole time I was in Belize I used cash in US dollar & got Belize Dollars in change. 1 US Dollar = 2 Belize dollars That was so cool! If you gave them $20 it was worth $40. I can home with $0.40 Belize nickels. I missed my afternoon rest in my lounge chair with the sun on my face wind in my hair and the sound of the ocean. I will be happy to be home soon . Bumpy ride due to weather in Phoenix. Always Belize dreaming!

We ate breakfast at the Cuban Coffee Café it was like a 6 course meal! 1.Cuban cappuccino 2. Fresh squeezed OJ 3. Fruit 4. Toast 5. Eggs & bacon 6. Pastry WOW! What a breakfast. We went to a jewelry store I got a Mayan jade sun pendant to wear on my slide. Then we went to Other shops to see what else we could find. Mom got 2 photo albums to put her photo’s she has taken while we were here. Nate & I went to the ocean it was so rough that we could not stand it so we ended up at the pool . I needed to hydrate so I went to the store to get Gatorade & lounged in the chair by the gate for the afternoon. I sold some of my left over sunscreen for what I paid for it at home $7 US so I got $15 BLZ. On the way back I stopped at the pool Joe aka the king of the pool and others that we meet during our stay here in San Pedro Belize they were getting there hair braided & pedicures. Said good bye being that we were leaving early the next day for home! We ate at Elvie’s Kitchen one last time and got custard on the way home. Took one last walk on the dock at night to say Goodbye to Belize!

I didn’t want to get out of bed today? After breakfast Mom took photo’s of me in my blue dress
In multiple locations. In the mangrove, by an old dock, by palm trees, on the rocks, on our dock where we snorkel from. I was hot in the dress I was wearing was made out of polyester after she finished. I said I was jumping in the water with the dress on! Ready to take a photo I am counting down from 10.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1. Jump, splash and what a relief. She need to work on taking photo’s of a human subject.
After that we went snorkeling. While snorkeling today I found 2 beautiful shell in the sea grass like there were placed there just for me. Then we hung out at the pool we found Nate a pool toy called a coconut! Used it as a ball, torpedo, or a cup to dump water on my head. I wasn’t feeling so well so I went to the condo to take a nap! Lazy afternoon & evening.

Today we went shopping for trinkets to take home to our friends & family. I got a couple T- shirts for my favorite girls, a hand carved bird from a local man who I promised early in my trip I would buy one from he was shocked that I approached him to buy one. Belizean coffee & coconut rum. I bought some more anklets from the family to register there kids into school. Hung out at the pool & went snorkeling. Our friend Joe the king of the pool recommended a restaurant called FIDO’s Fi= feed Do = Dose. Great atmosphere until the band started to play country music. I hate country.

Went for a walk on the beach south & came back went snorkeling off the dock & went swimming . Mom was harassing the lizards by taking photographs of them. After she went to the condo & put away her camera a big Iguana appeared on top of one of the condo units like a gargoyle. She ran back to get her camera. Joe the king of the pool told us that it was up there in the afternoon some times but we thought he was pulling our leg! We had a Lazy day! that’s what I call vacation!

Went for a walk to the mangroves but today there was no breeze it was hot & muggy! The mosquitoes were out today in full force like an army! I had read to bring bug spray so I did but we didn’t need it until today! It was so hot all we wanted to do was stay in the water where it was cool & the mosquitoes could not bite you . The best place to be was in the pool today! We ate the street vendor for lunch had chicken. Then went back to the pool! It was just us & Joe the king of the pool out due to the mosquitoes everyone else was staying inside. We went back to the condo for dinner decided to get Pizza & Beer. We played some rounds of UNO! Great night!
