First full day
We spent the night in Belize City after walking the streets of downtown all afternoon. Apparently Asian families run every business here so we had Chinese food for dinner. We have already had several memorable encounters with some locals. Two boys showed us the way to "Tourism Village" and there a man who calls himself ...
