Today is our one-year anniversary in Belize!!! It’s been quite an adventure and learning experience. The last month has been spent building the guest house, building a reef in the lagoon (to attract more fishes for snorkeling) and continuing the activities that we have come to love (lots of darts, poker, sunbathing, gardening (the garden is about ready to give up it’s first harvest) and bird-watching). The guest house was completed today and is now ready for the kids arrival on 2/28 (can’t wait!!!) We’ve had visits from crocodiles, iguanas and toucans, but no visitors from the US!
We got a hand-made armoire for the guest house from the same Belizean who built our dining room set…it turned out great! Since we were placing an order, we also purchased a dresser/book shelf for the bedroom. It’s beautiful! We are also currently shopping for a new vehicle. In the QRP program we have one year to purchase a vehicle duty-free…our year is up in May and doing this now will save us over $20,000 BZE. We’re looking at a Toyota Rav4 and hope to have things finalized by next week.
Progresso Village also grew a little this month with the addition of a new Chinese restaurant. The ambiance could use a little work, but the food is delicious!
The weather has been beautiful, for the most part, with cool nights (60’s) and warm days (80’s and 90’s). We did have a 48 hour period last week of cold temps (highs in the 70’s) and steady rain...nice change of pace and good for the trees, flowers and plants.
We hope you have enjoyed the blog and photo updates. We will continue them if/when something exciting or unusual happens and will forward these updates to you. We thank you for keeping in touch with us over the last year and hope that you will continue to do so.
