Belize City
On the swing bridge After spending part of a night freezing in the Miami airport, we arrived in Belize City yesterday afternoon. Today we took the boat over to Caye Caulker, where we'll stay for about a week.
The population in Belize is very diverse (for my students: you already know this since we read about it!) There is a large African/Caribbean population, Chinese, British, and Mennonites...everyone speaks English, but the local dialect is hard to understand.
It is beautiful here...today was windy, but mostly sunny. There is a full moon tonight over the water....palm trees and mangroves everywhere. (Students: you can look up mangrove trees to see how they grow...)

Caye Caulker
Caye Caulker - Can't wait to go there ... can't wait to read your blog ... questions ... is the Jerry Jeff Walker concert going on? I hear its great ... the US State Dept write up on Caye Caulker is very cautious ... how do you feel? ... I travel around southern Mexico and feel comfortable in most places but Caye Caulker is a little more remote than most of my destinations ... still it will take a very serious problem to keep me away from this place ...
