Marilyn Craig of Theodore, Alabama joined us in January of 2009. One of our guests this year asked to correspond with someone who had joined us before.

I just returned from 5 weeks in Belize. During that time we hosted over 150 guests on our island. It was a blast! We had a wonderful time: guests and staff alike.

Belizeans have a diet quite unlike ours. We are used to having the world’s cuisine at our fingertips, but Belizeans have about 7-10 dishes that they eat over and over: rice and beans, stew beans and rice (two different dishes, believe it or not), Belizean stew chicken, potato salad, cole slaw, vegetable salad (what they call a tossed salad), whole fried fish, scrambled eggs, fry jacks, Jonny Cak
