Saturday Day One: February 7th



 We arrive in Placencia! I'm here with my daughter, Margy and her friend, Sandy for a girl's week!

I got in at 7:30 and we went to the Barefoot Bar and danced A LOT!:) Picture one is Placencia sidewalk that links stores, restaurants, and happenings in Placencia. Third  picture is a friend we made. This is daughter Tatiana. We met her and her mother. They are native Belizians. I salsa danced with them. Last picture is Marg, her friend Sandy and myself. It was a fun kick-off to the week.

Monday Day Three: Feb. 9th

 This was my snorkle day. The weather was wet and rainy and cold! I went to their UNESCO National Park: Laughing Bird Caye National Park. We had a guide in the water with us, pointing out fish and choral as we snorkeled. There were also two other guides with us as well. There were a family of four, two women traveling together and another couple. The two women stayed close to me and helped me with my fins and kept me on track when I strayed from the group. We had lunch on the caye of one of the island's signature dishes: stewed chicken, beans and rice and pasta salad. then we went back in the water for a second trip. The snorkeling itself was fun but the ride back was so very cold. Thank goodness for the wetsuits and the towels we wrapped around ourselves. I got sick from this trip, a sinus infection affair but I'm feeling a lot better as I write this on Thursday! I used a saline rinse and sudafed which really really helped.

Wednesday Day Five: February 11th

 Today was Monkey River Jungle Tour. We went about 40 minutes to the River, then meandered through the river, took a short little walk through the jungle examining different flora/fauna. Our guide described the medicinal purpose of each plant. We did see howler monkeys up high in the canopy. We went to the village, had lunch of stewed chicken rice and beans. A fun day.  We ended at Sterlings Restaurant, my favorite restaurant. The service was personable with Carlos. We sat out on a veranda. I had the seafood platter, more than I could eat. Marg and Sandy split a steak that was very tender, more than they could eat too. It was on the next street over, which I haven't really explored we are going to do that Thursday.
