Tropic Air Delivery and Dinner in San Pedro

Tropic Air Vegetable Delivery

Tropic Air, the Belize Airline.

My friend Emily told me about Sol Farms, a place located on the mainland that grows wonderful organic fruits and vegetables.  They post a list on their facebook page of each weeks harvest available, then you email them a list of what you would like to order.  So two days ago I emailed my list of the items I wanted.  My order showed up today, it was flown in on Tropic Air.  Once my order arrived, Tropic Air gave me a call and told me it had arrived.  Bill and I biked down to the cargo area of Tropic and picked up our order. They attached a copy of my bill with the amount I owed on the box.  Tomorrow I will go down to their bank and deposit the amount due into their bank account.  You gotta love this system.

My fresh salsa I made.

I also make frequent visits to Maria's fruit stand down the street, picking up the things I need to make fresh salsa.  I love salsa and have been making it almost every day.

Pupusas were fresh made right out front.

She was flipping the pupusas.

Pupusas

Tonight we went down to Middle Street and had dinner.  We decided on Pupuseria's.  The lady's stood right outside the door and made them up and then cooked the pupusas on the grill.  Our waitor recommended the mixed, so we had a pork, bean and cheese.  They were quite tasty.  Our entire meal, drinks and food was $23.50BZE.

Hop on a flight at Tropic Air.  Looking for a place to stay for a week?  You have got Pedro's Inn.  Need to cool off?  Try some Ice Cream from DanE's Frozen Custard for a treat.  Want to adopt a pet?  Go see Saga Humane Society on Ambergris Caye, Belize.

First Visit to Belize July 1998

Our first trip to Belize was in July of 1998. This was a vacation trip. We did all the tourist things that you do. We flew into Belize City and from there we traveled to Maruba Resort Jungle Spa. Maruba Resort is a spa in the jungles of Belize. If you ever get the opportunity, you should definitely spend a few days there. It was unbelievable. I am not sure if Hosea is still there, but he would come highly recommended. I have had lots of massages…but he rates #1 in my book.

We left the Maruba Resort and headed to Ambergis Caye. The largest of the Caye's in Belize. We took a small plane at Tropic Air. I remember landing on a dirt airstrip and it looked at little scary. But we landed with no problems. We then spent a few days at a resort in Ambergris Caye. We snorkeled with Sharks and Stingrays. This was the beginning of falling in LOVE with Belize.
