Mosquitoes, bugs, and insects are more common in during the rainy season, but it is not a problem for us here in Cabo. The rainy season is not very long in Baja California Sur and is during the months of August and September, but more common in September. 
Foods of Belize such a wonderful topic for a Foodie like myself. The most popular food in all of Belize is your typical Rice and Beans with Stewed Chicken or Stewed Beef. It is served with potato salad and a plantain. Anyone who first comes to Belize has to try this dish, of course with a cold Belikin Beer or Rum and Coke. You never come to a country without trying their most famous dish. All of these meals no matter where you go are homemade, no preservatives or any surprises. You can...
Since there are so many cultures in Belize, you are able to try almost anything from any ethnicity. Up North we are close to the Mexican border therefore you can get Mexican food with a twist. In Orange Walk town, they are famous for their tacos, and oh are they delicious. In Hopkins / Dangriga area you get Garifuna food such as Fish Sere. There is also a large population of East Indians and you can get Curry. There is a large concentration of Chinese from Taiwan, so you get authentic Taiwanese food, oh my. Due to the close proximity of El Salvador, we also find Salvadoran food and eat the Best Pupusas (stuffed corn tortilla) in all of Belize. Belize also borders Guatemala so we can find Tamales made in Banana leaves. I am drooling as I write this. We also border Honduras, so we can find pastelitos de carne or tostones. So what are you waiting for, if you are a Foodie it is time to visit Belize. 
When it comes to desserts the traditional one in Belize is Cold Cake. But again you can find almost anything from Flan (baked custard) to best cakes ever. Like Tres Leches Cake from Mexico. We have discovered homemade ice cream, and homemade pop tarts made with natural fruits such as pineapple, mango and papaya. Oh my! And I must not forget the fry jacks, which you can eat them alone, with beans, honey, cinnamon and sugar, jam or homemade jellies. A must to try in Belize. 
You can scuba dive around Isla Iguana, which is about 20 minutes by boat from Pedasi. Isla Iguana is in the Pacific, so the visibility isn’t always that great. You can see stingrays and lots of colorful fish like parrotfish. There isn't a lot of coral. You could see turtles and crabs. It is nice to scuba dive around Isla Iguana, but I think there are better places in Panama. 
The Portuguese banks are not in a great state of health. The Spanish banks are in much better shape. However, Portuguese banks have a guarantee of up to 100,000 euros, which is provided by the Portuguese government. So generally, I would feel secure putting my money into a Portuguese bank account.

sighting by us near Boquete, Panama, May 17, 2013.
The pictures you see here are just of the treetops from the car as we were driving home that day after lunch.
After blowing up the very small blip so we could see it better in the picture I got excited and began enlarging it more!
I find it find it amazing that this was not so visible to my eyes, only to my Nikon Cool Pics 280 with 18X zoom.

This little bird is a baby Panama Flycatcher. Mum and dad moved in above the light fitting in my kitchen in April 2012. I live on a little Caribbean island just off the coast of Panama in the archipelago of Bocas del Toro. This short tale is taken from my new book "Paradise Delayed", which is sub-titled "The pitfalls and pleasures (mainly the pitfalls) of Caribbean island life in the beautiful archipelago of Bocas del Toro, Panama". Life can be challenging and frustrating at times here,...
