Friday night and Saturday in San Ignacio

So, apparently last night was the start of the weekend! When you don't have a watch or a calender, or any commitments of any kind it's amazing how quick you lose track of the day!

Last night we decided to go into town and see what the San Ignacio nightlife was like. I'm not going to lie, I was a little disappointed! We did find a great meal at one of the local tour vendors/grigo bar. Great meal, Penny had a Fish Curry dish and I had some Creole Chicken. Add in 8 Rum Punchs and it was $30 well spent! We had some good conversation with some younger girls from Ontario who had just come in from Cay Caulker and an older gentleman from the US. Lots of gringos downtown which was nice. There is apparently a fun karaoke bar somewhere down there that we tried to locate, but no such luck...navigating an unfamiliar town when you are inebriated is not always the easiest...

We also got introduced to what I have now deemed "The Belizian Death Cherry!" In the Rum Punches ($3 Belizian, $1.50 Ca) they have the standard maraschino cherry. Or. So. You. Think.

Bite into it and you quickly learn otherwise! Apparently they are soaked in 151 Rum...


Good.

God.

I think there was more alcohol in the damn cherry!

The night slowed down pretty early, before midnight, which was the disappointing part. I did learn that there is a Casino in town however...look for a review on that in the next post!

We did go to the market today, it was reasonably impressive. It's said to be the biggest market in Belize. We got 10 Banana's for $1BZ ($.50CA) so the prices were pretty good. Selection of fruit is okay, but vegetables are a little hard to come by. That's about the only bad thing. There is some pretty good corn I hope to sample next week...

We've got some stuff on the go this afternoon. I will keep up the same mantra for the rest of the day.

I will not complain about the heat...

I will not complain about the HEAT!
