Moving to the south of Belize


Then I moved down towards the south of the country and entered a unknown to me territory called Stann Creek district. I was magnificent to me to get to see the mountains after so many years , in fact one year since I departed from the lovely hills of the coffee region in Colombia. It somehow reminded me of those days back in Colombia. As I went further down to the south of Belize I could sense and recognize that kind of nature so familiar to me to the right for there was the thick jungle with the kind of mountains and vegetation that grew up with but I felt yet unfamiliar with what I saw to the left, namely beautiful orange plantations, thousands of orange trees aligned up all over the fields. I didn't had the change to see many people at work since it was still time for the festivities of the end of the year and the beginning of the brand new one that had been waited for since long, long ago back in those years when the Mayans gazed at the sky and where able to foretell the future generations through generations and centuries throughout centuries ahead of time with no much aid than the cultivation of the spirit and the reverence, submission and respect to nature that was considered as our truly mother and father responsible for our protection and well being.
I haven't really spotted any particular Mayan ruin or temple so far but I would like to do so when the time is due and when the proper guidance appear.

I dropped my anchor down at Dangriga, found me a nice spot to stay and I'll stay until enchantment is over.

Orange Walk Town Belice

 After spending two months in Corozal I finally moved down to the next district called Orange Walk. I arrived at this town and went looking for a room to stay but distances where larger than in Corozal . My main purpose was to find me an affordable place to stay that would be a bit nicer than my last room in Corozal where I was paying $50 BZ per week.
I managed to find me a place in a village called San José del Palmar where I stayed for about 4 months, I joined religious communities and did some sales work. I offered SEO services to the local merchants but there wasn't much appreciation for the services.
Orange Walk seems to me like a peaceful place to be. There where nice disco's which I have not visited but will probably visit in the future.

It is nice to see people from so many different nations together living in one single community sharing different languages. I have heard English, Kriol, Spanish and even german down on the street. It is nice move along and be approached on the street in spanish by unknown persons. It makes me feel good for they recognize the spanish in me but it makes me also feel good when they speak to me in English for that acknowledges the English part in me.
The district is kind of safe but one should pay close attention to love relationships cause the most recurrent crimes are of the passionate kind.
