While the pools heated up back at the hotel, we headed into San Ignatio for some breakfast. We found a great fast food place which prepared 8 breakfasts for our family for $8 US! And boy was it yummy! Normally we head into San Ignatio on Saturdays for the market and are in such a hurry that we miss the normal city life. This day however we were able to really take the time to wander the streets; meeting folks and checking out some of the shops. We met quite a few locals and some American transplants as well. We especially enjoyed visiting with Sean, the espresso guy from Boston who had moved to BZ 18 years earlier. He was a wealth of information plus he makes a mean americano!
Dad and Mom check out the Belize map.. making future plans for exciting road trips! But first, San Ignatio town for breakfast.
The San Ignatio market is much more quiet on a weekday. Still, we were able to shop for some fruit and veggies for the week
La La enjoys some breakfast
Uh hem, I thought we stopped by this park for Laura and Grace! Well, I suppose parks bring out the kid in all of us..
One thing that is fun about Belize is that people share their things more freely. Also, children are a very welcomed part of their society and it shows in the way they treat babies and children. This bike was on the sidewalk near the fast food place we ate at. Many of the children took turns on it.. no need to ask. Here you find many restaurants have play areas and toys to keep the children occupied.
Sean the espresso guy talked with Dad for a full half hour about local ruins and tourist attractions which we may want to consider visiting. This included a Mayan ruin which literally sits on the same block where our hotel was located! (pics of this to come in the next blog post)
You would never know it by looking at this photo but Gracie had experienced a fever of 105.7 the night before! Poor little thing has been battling something for the past 2 weeks but thankfully seems to be getting better now.

Love the phot of the big ones at the park. Ha!
We go to that same park.
Can' wait to see the ruins that you saw.
So glad Gracie girl is better but,so very sorry she ran such a high fever.
I agree too, children are welcome here and in Mexico and in most all thrid world countries and in that respect are far ahead of the US.
