In Hopkins

Just a short note to say that I made it to Hopkins, a sleepy little town near Dangria, in the central coast of Belize, and am going diving tomorrow. I plan to dive for the next three days, then move on to San Ignacio in western Belize–but haven’t really decided yet. I may well decide to spend the next week here.

To my delight, I have discovered that one can (occasionally) get armadillo around here, and am trying to lay my hands on some. I’ve had the innkeeper put in a request with a guy who goes hunting a lot. I guess the town is too small to support an armadillo farm. LOL

I’m also trying to find a guide who is willing to show me around the Jaguar Reef Reserve, which is a wildlife preserve wherein I will probably not see jaguars, but lots of other cool stuff.

Oh, and I may take up windsurfing.
