Saturday Market Days

Have we really been gone from Belize for a year and a half? In some ways it seems as though we have never left. The Saturday market has quickly become a reinstated routine. We like to head to 'Cayo' (San Ignatio/Santa Elena areas) early Saturday to avoid the heat and crowds. We purchase most of our weekly produce at the market, beef from Running W, our corn tortillas from a local Spanish lady and other weekly provisions from a Chinese supermarket. Occasionally we will also take a drive out to Succotz Village to visit friends or out to the DePlooys Jungle lodge area where there is a lovely botanical garden.
 
On this day we took the ferry which connects the west side of Spanish Lookout to the Western Highway. There was quite a line up heading into Spanish Lookout this day..

The ferry has received a facelift since we last saw it! New paint, railings and plates. Looks nice. Grant had brought his line and stick to try and catch a few sardines but didn't catch anything. :-)
