San Ignatio, Belize

Greetings from Belize! It has such a weird name that I just had to look it up and see what it meant. It is the Spanish pronunciation for Wallace, the name of the pirate who founded Belize and led the first settlements.

I have decided that I will alternate trips. This one is going to be history about Belize, and the next trip I take I will have more fun in. For example: Did you know that Belize is the only country in Central America that uses English language as it's native language? Other languages commonly heard are Mayan and Spanish.

I went out to a museum for a little while just to get out a LITTLE while I was in Belize. One can't just stay in their hotel room all trip. The museum was cool. I ate a late lunch and then walked back to my hotel. By that time it was dark.

I am going to tucker in for the night. I had a good time in Belize, or "Wallace". I enjoyed learning a little about the country. Just for an extra learning:

National Flower: Black Orchid
National Tree: Mahogany tree 
National Bird: Keel Billed Toucan
National Animal: Baird’s Tapir
