You won't Belize this (cont'd)

My favorite parts of our trip were enjoying the beach and eating fresh (well fresher than here in Oklahoma) sea food. I think I ate some kind of sea food each night at dinner.

Our trip actually fell on the town's annual Lobster Fest weekend.
Sunday night in the main part of San Pedro they had a big party. There was live music and lots of food vendors came out to sell their lobster inspired dishes. We had lobster pizza, lobster wraps, and fried jalapeno w/lobster inside.

Lobster Fest


We also went out on a boat one morning to go fishing. Our boat captain has fished on this island for over 45 years and he knew exactly where to take us. Mostly Bob and his Dad fished while his mom and I watched. They were having such an easy time I thought I would join in as well.







After fishing all morning we decided to take some of the fish back to cook for ourselves. Our boat captain took care of the messy work for us.


Then some seagulls got really interested in what was going on inside our boat.


So he fed them a snack.

Then we had a nice lunch.

It was some of tastiest fish I have ever eaten. You cannot get fresher than that!

You won't Belize this

We got to take a trip to Belize with Bob's parent's last week.

Here is some background info on where we went in Belize. Belize is the northern most central American country and our resort was on the island of San Pedro which is northeast of Belize city.

Our flight from Houston landed in Belize City and then we got on another (tiny)plane for a short 15 minute flight to the island of San Pedro.




Once that plane landed we then took a taxi ride to a boat dock to wait for a boat to take us up the island to our resort CoCo Beach.






That's just how we got there. More to come about our trip!
