I've kept a low profile for the last month or more because I have been busy with traveling (and other things). First, by boat from our place to the airstrip, dodging the light sprinkles of rain. From there I caught a flight on a small plane to the international airport.
The Placencia Airstrip, serviced by 2 local commercial airlines - Maya Island Air and Tropic Air.
I flew on the the international airport just outside Belize City to catch my flight to the US.
The photo below was taken in my destination city.
More coming soon.

| Taxiing down the runway. The canal to the left is where I got dropped off in our boat a little earlier. I hopped out of the skiff and walked down the runway to the terminal - after looking both ways for planes. ;-) |
