la isla bonita

mata rocks resort
san pedro town
ambergris caye, belize

bloggers being wonky - short post

up early - fly, fly fly. got to san pedro about noon (2p detroit)

mata rocks isnt super posh, but its nice. upgraded to a junior suite because the regular room was just too damned small.

drank, had a fabulous lobster salad for lunch. swam for a bit. frolicked (oh i said it) in the sea. grocery shopped - note: if you ever find yourself here DO NO shop at island grocery. its big, and looks really clean and nice, but its way over priced, and their food is within minutes of expiring, if it hasnt already. i had read some sketchy things about the store, but didnt notice so much on our last trip. this time i payed closer attention. milks and juices in the cooler 2 months expired. creamer cartons that were
still within date, but bulging. all kinds of mess there.

dinner at the incredible Elvi's kitchen. black bean dip and chips to start and shrimp in watermelon sauce for dinner. the watermelon reduction was so so so yum. not as sweet as i expected, more of a full, spicier flavor.

back at the hotel now and pretty much worn out from the day. a nice storm is coming in, so there's a good breeze off the water.

more tomorrow.
