Winter Hike

It has been pretty balmy here but there was still some snow on the ground from a recent dusting.

Belize Vacation

Jyoti and I took a week to visit Belize and attend a small but very effective storage mastermind group.

Some highlights of the trip:

• Belize Zoo - saw many native animals
• Wild Orchid hotel - rustic rooms but great beach
• Mariposa Beach Resort - great boutique hotel; good food but service a bit slow; our mastermind host is a partner
• Flying Pig bar - great food and very nice folks
• Maya Beach Bistro - 
• Barefoot Beach Bar - typicall tropical beach restaurant
• The Shak - awesome smoothies
• Belize Mexican taco shack - good but slow
• Captain Jak's snorkeling at Silk Caye and Moho Caye
• Chillpoint coffee and smoothies - some of the best coffee anywhere

Belize is kind of like a Central American version of Hawaii.  Everyone speak English, or some variation of it.  People are friendly than Hawaiians and very much appreciate tourists.  Travel is a bit easier than Hawaii since it is on central time.  Weather and bugs are better in Hawaii though.

First Prescott Boot Drop

It was pretty crowded on the square (but not as crowded as the lighting) and the band was good.  The bars all had lines to get in.
