Do You Know the Way to San Jose? Oops - wrong song. Oh well, we be having fun on the way. Here's some shots I took during the journey.

One of the things that quickly became apparent was the absence of flatness the further we went toward San Ignacio. I guess another way to say it is - They have mountains! Not huge, but mountains non-the-less.

San Ignacio is a small, but very lively town. It's downtown is much more Caribbean-flavored in architecture than is Corozal. It's hilly, and would have a lot going for it if there was a bay from the ocean right here. As it is, there is a distinct lack of breeze, so it was significantly hotter than in Corozal. With plenty of good restaurants and some jumping night spots, it's much more touristy than Corozal. Nice place to visit, but, well, you know...

We stayed at a nice small local resort in San Ignacio, actually, within walking distance of down town. Midas Resort (
http://www.midasbelize.com/)has about 11 cabanas for guests and the owners are doing quite a bit of renovation. There is a restaurant, where you can get coffee in the morning, sometimes breakfast, and for dinner, they said restaurants in town will be glad to deliver.

Nice, clean and quiet. It was genuinely relaxing to stay there. Here's a shot of our cabana. Complete with private toilet and shower, it had two beds, fans, and optional A/C.

We joined Mae and Craig on the porch of No. 9 cabana for some refreshment and to discuss our plans for Thursday. Wednesday was sort of our down day. Relaxing, and walking around town. Trying the French bakery, and shopping for hats and tee-shirts took up most of the day.

San Ignacio has a very nice and clean farmer's market. We shopped a bit there before we were drawn away to the French bakery.
