The rainy season seems to have finally found us. I think it officially starts in June but we really haven't seen any rain until now. And now it is raining! I can't say that I mind. The thermometer has dropped about ten degrees and I even have a blanket on the bed! Bring on Belize-winter! My plants are filling out and new flowers are popping out everyday. Gotta love this time of year.
In other news, we've come to a big decision. We are putting our house up for sale. Maybe I should rephrase that...it wasn't a big decision. We have always thought that we would stay in Belize for about five years and we are coming up on four years. Real estate doesn't move very quickly here so we thought this was the right time.
An interesting thing has come up since we've listed the house. Many people are asking why we are leaving. As if somehow we are leaving because we aren't happy in Belize. That's not true, it's just time. We lived in the same small town in Canada for thirty years. Leaving was a huge step for us and gathering up the courage for such a big move has taught me that the world is wide open in front of us. Belize was an amazing starting point but it's just that, a starting point.
So, the next logical question is 'what are we going to do next?'. Sounds odd to say, but we really don't know yet. We've been talking about a few things but no big plan yet. I guess that it depends on when the house sells. I don't think that we are really to go back to Canada yet but I know that I have no desire to go back to Canada in mid January! No matter what we do, winter in Canada doesn't hold that much appeal!
So, here is my shameless plug for our house. I've put together a website with all the details. It's a beautiful home...maybe your next home???
