Belize City + Ambergris Caye + San Pedro | July 2019

“I spent my first night on Ambergris Caye walking the town of San Pedro. The rains had stopped and people dressed in thin tank tops and shorts filled the streets. Much of the town catered to the North Americans that comprised Belize's main tourists, and I was miffed at the offerings of sushi and 4th of July specials that surrounded me. I cut away from the waterfront restaurants playing played-out Bob Marley and Jimmy Buffett to find the back street taco shops. I ordered local delicacies of panades with beef and salbutes with chicken. I sampled the offerings of the street vendors - often to their surprise - as I excitedly purchased small portions of their spiced meats grilling over fire.”
