Commonwealth Holiday


Since Monday was Commonwealth Day many Belizean own and operated businesses were closed for the holiday.  Banks, schools and some restaurants observed the holiday.  Many locals were seen along the beach enjoying time with family.

We traveled north to see more of the Island.  We had planned to take the water taxi to experience that aspect of transportation however it cost more than we were willing to pay at that time.  The roadway to the north is wide enough for two golf carts to pass (general mode of transportation) in most areas.  The road winds along the beach side in some areas and through the middle of the brush in other areas.  It’s a beautiful sight of God’s country.
