Another Blues Day

Although the most popular artist in Belize is Jim Reeves – honestly: the blues has followed me around.

At Iguana Junction, Colin is a big blues man and had a good selection playing while we were there.

Hickatee Cottages had blues tinged local music playing all the time and now at Beaches & Dreams, Tony had the Sirius Blues channel playing all yesterday.

“The sky is crying” hour matched the weather as it was a cold grey day. We went to Dangriga and had lunch at the Pelican Beach Hotel where we used to stay 20 years ago.

Back to Hopkins and then relaxed on the beach for the rest of the day. Tony Marsico was a journalist and chef in Iowa, moved to Alasaka where he and Angela owned a restaurant in Fairbanks and they now own Beaches & Dreams.

His new smoker was fabricated by the Mennonites at Spanish Lookout and was in full swing yesterday afternoon.

Another great supper and then bed to the strains of B B King.

Today we drive 100 miles North to the Belize Zoo for a night with the animals.
