I wound up with the Preston family and friends eating at Martha’s Kitchen. It’s a restaurant in San Ignacio Town, Cayo District, Belize and a pretty good one. It was Maria’s birthday today. This one will be short and sweet since I’m short on time right now.
The food was excellent and the place was clean. [...]

If you’re having a red meat attack try J&K Grill.  It’s not too hard to find. I’ll try and get a picture up later. The local boys here think of it as a steak house and their probably right. Gary and I went there to eat last night. Gary tipped me off about this place. [...]

After being disgusted paying all the tolls driving through Mexico the last two times, I decided to take the “librementos” as much as possible this time.  It was a partial success since I’ve always wanted to drive through a lot of the tiny little villas along the way.  However as time came to a stop several times [...]

Yesterday we took the maiden voyage for “Wild Ting Adventures”. It’s a new tour business in San Ignacio Town, Cayo District, Belize! I’ve only been on an ATV once before and really enjoyed it. They really aren’t hard to learn how to drive either. We rode and toured “El Pilar” a Mayan archeological site that [...]

I’ll make a quick comment about this place. It’s located one block west of the town center and across from Martha’s Guesthouse. The price is $5.00 BZD an hour and the bandwidth is generally good. However, the restroom is simply wrong. There is one and it looks like something from one the “Saw” movies. There [...]

Last night I stayed at the Falcon View Hostel in Santa Elena Town, Cayo District, Belize.  Overall it was a pleasant stay with good conversation. The Falcon View Hostel is located a bit off the beaten path in a small community about 3/4 mile down a gravel road. It was quite and safe. I paid [...]

I wandered around Xunantunich today. It’s a Mayan archaeological site  near San Ignacio Town, Cayo District, Belize. The local tour companies usually don’t market it since it’s too close. Tour companies farther away will market it though. Some local hotels and resorts will sell it as a half day trip. You can do it on your [...]

Thousand Foot Falls is not bad at all. Most of the view of the Maya Mountains show a very gradual climb in altitude. I thought it would be uninteresting. I was pleasantly surprised.  It’s just past Hidden Valley Inn. The roads pretty much suck most of the way. I guess it’s about a 25-30 mile [...]

I’ll take my hat off to the Belizeans this time. They know hospitality. I’ve just spent a couple of nights up in Pine Ridge in Cayo District at Hidden Valley. Yes, they have pines in Belize. Hidden Valley Inn sits on 7,200+ acres of private reserve with about a dozen different cabanas. This place is [...]
