Even though I'm blogging in Belize, I can't post my blogs - strange, huh??? I've tried everything but they just won't post so a big thank you to Jessi for posting them for me - I really appreciate it!!
So Thursday was another fishing day - but this time Joleen went out with the guys! She loves to fish and looks forward to it every time her and Martin come to Belize!! Now me - NO WAY - I was looking forward to a morning on the deck with a book in hand and some time to catch up on blogging and posting pictures!!
The 3 of them set out early in the morning and I enjoyed having my coffee on the balcony and finishing the current book I was reading - of course it was a tear jerker so here I am on vacation, crying my eyes out over a book!!! I loved just reading the morning away and spending some time on the computer!!
Before long they were back with lots more fish - since they weren't deep sea fishing, the fish were much smaller but all 3 of them had a great time and we put more fish in the freezer!!
We also did some grocery shopping and had a feast that night with fantastic grilled fish and chicken!! It was getting pretty dark out by the time I snapped this picture but I wanted to get a shot of the guys grilling! Although I think Martin is doing most of the work..............I made foil potatoes and carrots and everything tasted WONDERFUL - especially with the type of briquettes that is used here in Belize - bamboo!! It takes a while for them to get hot but the flavor is fantastic!!
Here we are enjoying our meal!!
After dinner we headed downtown on the golf cart to a bar that features the chicken drop - yes, that's right - it's called the chicken drop!!
Doesn't Joleen look cute on their swing?
So here's how the chicken drop works- when you get to the bar, you buy tickets - I think they're about $1.00 per ticket and each ticket you get has a number on it - Glenn and I bought 5 tickets!! Then at an appointed time, you go outside on the beach and there's this fenced in area with square blocks that each have a number of them. A chicken or rooster is brought out and someone in the crowd holds the chicken and then places the chicken in the ring. The picture below shows a gal holding the chicken right before she places it in the ring.
And then the fun begins - the chicken usually walks around a little bit and whatever spot the chicken poops on, well the number underneath it wins $100!! It was hilarious!! And darn it, the chicken did NOT poop on any of our numbers!!!
Anyway, it was a fun time and something we'll probably never experience again but I think somebody should do it in the US - I can see the bar in Soldier doing something like this when they have their motorcycle rallies!!! As I said, a good time was had by all!!
And the day ended again............and our time is getting shorter............To Be Cont'd........
