• Garifuna Fry Chicken

  • From: Buqo
  • Description:

    Lunches for three in Hopkins, Belize.  Garifuna fry chicken has to be one of the tastiest dishes on the planet.  Served with cole slaw, rice and beans, or rice and veggies as in this picture.  The Garifuna recipe results in a flavor and texture that is just incredible.  And it is good for you too.  Of particular irony, note the chicken foot prints in the sand under the table.  They were running around freely as we ate lunch.  Oh yeah, the lunches, two Beliken beers, and a soda were $7 and just like the restaurants here, the beer tab was more than the food.

• Belizean Brunch

  • From: Buqo
  • Description:

    Add rock lobster, a basket of fresh fruit, and an ice cold Beliken beer and you have a classic Belizean brunch.  MaryEllen enjoyed the meal completely.  Beliken, it's not just for breakfast anymore.

    Once the elusive rock lobsters are forcibly extracted from under the rock they where they were hiding, its off for the cleaning and cooking, and of course the presentation.  Melt some butter, slice some fresh lime and there you have it...a Belizean breakfast, or brunch depending on how long it all took.

  • Description:

    If you go at the right timeof day to the right place and you have the nerve to chase after these critters that do not want to leave the sea, you might get lucky and get some fresh rock lobster before breakfast.  One of the many benefits of Belize.

• Garifuna Cemetery

  • From: Buqo
  • Description:

    This is a picture of the cemetery in Hopkins Town, Stann Creek District, Belize.  The dearly departed are interred in above ground vaults.  Note the unusual styilized drawing on the side of the vault in the foreground, which resembles some southwestern U.S. Native American art.  But Hopkins Town is the center of the Garifuna culture, which shares the best of African, Arab, and Carib influences.  Although overgrown by grasses, the offerings indicate that the graves are visited regularly.  This picture was made in the late afternoon with the sun shining between the forest trees.

• Double Rainbow in Belize

  • From: Buqo
  • Description:

    Our first day in Hopkins Town, Belize, I got up early to catch the surise.  The sunrise was rather bland but when I turned around, I was greeted with this double rainbow.  A Garifuna fisherman told me it was an omen of especially good luck.  The pot of gold appears to be at Dangriga a few miles up the Caribbean coastline, but when we went there, it turned out to be just a fish market on the river.

• Dinner right on the beach

  • From: carla
  • Description:

    Ten years ago, I read an article in a magazine while waiting in a lobby  about an island called Ambergris Caye.  I had no idea where it was, but I remember the article saying it was like 'paradise,' just like Fiji but a fraction of the price.  I had always dreamed of going to Fiji.  I tore out the small article and shoved it in my purse, thinking one day (when I could afford it) it would be a great destination spot.  Later that night I placed it in small pocket in my planner.  It remained there for 8 years until 2 years ago, when my boyfriend proposed to me, and we began discussing honeymoon destinations.  I remembered the article about this island that I read, and went to fetch it out of my 10- year old planner. Sure enough, it was still there.  I started researching the small island of  Ambergris Caye, Belize, and we immediately made our decision.  We spent 7 days at Victoria House hotel/suites on this island and had absolutely no regrets.  Our single unit thatched-roof casita was perfect for newlyweds.  It was quiet and peaceful, yet alive and awake with woodpeckers in the trees and iguanas walking though the grass.  It was just-as-described...paradise.  All our needs were attended to and the level of service was impecable.  Most notably, the locals were super friendly and sociable, and not afraid or disgusted by tourists.  The island is overtaken my golf carts, the primary means of transportation by the locals, yet the island still has a local feel to it.  There are no McDonalds or Wendy's there, but any day of the week you can eat where the locals eat, at little diners like Los Cocos where we ate freshly caught snapper and conch, and homemade ceviche.  No restaurant in the U.S. could beat it.  The water was warm every day and you could swim near the beach and see eel and stingray swimming under your deck.  It was picturesque.  Words can't describe what made this the best vacation EVER for us, and pictures just don't do it justice.  But we will be back. Oh yes...we'll be back.
