Placencia Belize Thursday
Last night we ate at the Galley. It’s a cute little spot just across the street and behind the city park. Ive eaten here many times over several visits and always liked the service and fresh seafood. It was no exception. Our waitress Kadesha (shown in the photo with Jimmy) took great care of us. We had Creole Conch and Garlic Snapper. For desert I tried the “traditional Belize Fruit Cake.” (“we have black and white fruit cake” she said) what I didn’t understand was you have to choose – black or white. I asked for a half serving of each. The white was a light fluffy white cake with traditional fruit cake pecans and fruit. The black was ‘better’ with a less dry consistency. Not chocolate cake but some syrup base. Maybe dark karo, as it had no distinct flavor. The black cake also had the usual fruit in it.
Today we had a late breakfast and a walk down the beach searching for a good photo representative of the view. It’s a nice little seaside fishing village that is growing by leaps and bounds. I have to assume all the shoreline is bought up by investors. This is another little town where people say – ‘you should have seen it 20 years ago.’
The schedule shows tomorrow for us to go on the Monkey River tour. Might get some Manatee, Crocodile, Howler monkey sightings… or not.
Gotta run now and have some fresh seafood.
Happy holiday. Xo skip
