it.

Why Belize? The best
reasons to live here in Belize rather than South Florida or Texas.
Something About Schools. Rick
spent three semesters teaching high school. He has some definite opinions
about the quality of primary and secondary education here.
Boats. Boating is an
important part of life in Belize and we're starting to show you some aspects of
it. You can start here.
Parties.
The Moose Club says "Where you are a stranger but
once!" Well, that's true here. Come to one of our parties
and make dozens of new friends.
Crime. Belize City is a
dangerous place -- just like Houston or LA or Miami! Up here in Belize North, we
have some crime, but it's mostly petty thievery.
Here is a page on Burglar Bars and Crime.
NEW:
See the Belizean
Chronicles -- the running saga of Rick's 2004 trip from Colorado to
Corozal and beyond.
NEWEST:
Read about Rick's Escape from Belize after
a burglary in Sept. 2005.
