    Excellent pictures Jim – are you thinking of buying a piece of paradise? What do you think of Caye Caulker – seems like a safe and friendly island community 🙂

      Thanks. We’re definitely looking at moving to Belize sometime in the future. And so far, CC is the place we feel most at home.

None of them making eye contact with anyone else. I don’t necessarily think those people are jerks, I just think they’re part of a movement away from friendliness.
