I can't help but feel that our little town of San Ignacio is growing up. I know...we've only been here a couple of years so I haven't really earned the right to say that. But I can say that we have seen so many positive changes in the time that we've called this home. Recently, we have a run on new and considerable upscale restaurants and we are having trouble keeping up with trying them out! A good problem to have!
This was my second time at the Guava Limb. A few days ago it was lunch with the girls. I had a ham and cheese panini (first panini in Belize for me), fresh watermelon juice, and tiramisu for dessert. All delicious and it came to just $22BZD. That's a great value. Add in the beautiful decor and setting, friendly and attentive service and the company of friends and it was a winning afternoon!
So happy to see additions like these to San Ignacio. They help to reassure us about our choice of location in Belize. I know that I'm biased but I really believe that this is the nicest part of the country to call home. There is vibrancy and diversity here with some really positive growth happening. It's fun to be a part of. I have a feeling that I will be able to look back at this blog over the years and I will be blown away by the changes in our community.
We met at a nice little restaurant in Belmopan called Corkers. It's located right beside all the government and parliament buildings. Belmopan is the capital of Belize so it is also the centre for government operations. Lunch took an interesting turn when suddenly three BlackHawk helicopters passed right over the restaurant at low altitude and landed in the field across the street. The helicopters were met by a long motorcade of SUV's and a whole bunch of armed soldiers. OK...that was interesting!
