Belize: Day 6

Biked trails 4 miles to the west side of Ambergris Caye to Secret Beach, which ended up not being so secret due to four signs with pictures of hot dogs leading the way. Met some rad humans from the hostel in San Pedro and decided to explore the mangrove in search of a lesser known shore. One mile in, we discovered an abandoned house and the most pristine beach you could imagine with not a soul in sight. Pet a puppy, saw an iguana, ate some shrimp tacos. A solid day, indeed.

Spent the morning navigating local roads in search of fruits, veggies, and edible sea creatures. Scored a can of Manzanita Sol. Afterward, I immediately set out to conquer my fear of the open sea and swam a few yards to the water trampoline. After zero successful attempts to stand up on said trampoline, I embarked on the 2-minute swim back to the beach. Landing safely upon the shore, I slathered on half a bottle of sunscreen, then began the precarious bike ride into San Pedro. It quickly became apparent that none of the locals were as eager to speak Spanish as I was. Nonetheless, I returned with provisions for the upcoming days, including more Manzanita Sol.

Also, shoutout to the coati for tricking me into telling everyone that I saw a tropical raccoon.

Belize: Day 4

Not sure where the boat pictures ended up but here's a picture of this slug garnish (never going to serve fruit with the beer, but if I must...). Left Caye Caulker for Ambergris Caye today!

Belize: Day 3

Made friends with some sharks and stingrays. Snorkeled about the reef then later ate the inhabitants for dinner at Rose's. Went to Bondi Bar for caye lime crumb cake (eerily similar to the Fort Collins location...) then bathed my gringa skin in aloe. Power went out on the island which made for stargazing almost as enticing as the view from the Rockies.

Belize: Day 2

Kayaking, eating. Biking, eating.

Belize: Day 1 Ate shrimp ceviche at Rainbow Bar & Grill per a friend’s suggestion (it was out of this world, so thank you!), rode bikes with Barb around the island, and scored some fresh watermelon juice. Finished the evening with shrimp jerk kebabs and reruns of SNL.

The brewery life has been good to me. Dream job. Ideal location. Best beer.

2am, Friday morning. I'm reclining in my fresh sheets and perfectly firm mattress after a 14 hour shift on my feet. My head is resting almost perfectly, slightly turned as I stare deeply into my phone's screen, succumbing to a Netflix coma. Something stirs in the pit of my being, my stomach turns. Hunger awakens something deep inside of me. Do I sacrifice the sweet fortitude of my bedroom for the greasy, satisfying crunch of Taco Bell?
