When Gail and I came to Belize, whether we knew it or not, we had four major objectives.
First, we wanted to escape the winter weather. We definitely have improved on the climate. The weather here is excellent with the temperatures in the day time in the low eighties and in the upper sixties at night. We have yet to need the air conditioner and they don’t even have any heating source.
Secondly, we wanted to make it easier for Gail to retire. By coming here she has gone into a “vacation” mode rather than a retirement mode. She certainly is enjoying not having to get up in the morning and fight the Bella Vista traffic.
Also, we wanted to discover and learn about this country and the people. If you have been following the blog you know that we are discovering something new just about every day.
And finally, we wanted to relax. Gail has found a love for reading. She enjoys going to the pool with a good book.
So far she has read sixteen books:
Title | Author |
Answered Prayers | Danielle Steel |
Bittersweet | Danielle Steel |
Hour Game | David Baldacci |
The Christmas Train | David Baldacci |
A Good Yarn | Debbie Macomber |
Cradle and All | James Patterson |
Best Kept Secrets | Sandra Brown |
The Alibi | Sandra Brown |
Back on Blossom Street | Debbie Macomber |
Split Second | David Baldacci |
The Kite Runner | Khaled Hosseini |
Wish You Well | David Baldacci |
Led Astray | Sandra Brown |
Wake of the Wind Dancer | Karl Adams |
Every Waking Moment | Meryl Sawyer |
Lost Light | Michael Connelly |
I, on the other hand, stay in the condo, in a small spare bedroom upstairs, and paint.
So far I have painted seven paintings (not counting the one I did twice).
Seeing The Light Mayan Art
Beach Embrace
Canuck Cowgirl Vases
Belizean Beauty
Beach Scene
By the time we come home I think we will have this relaxing thing down pretty good.
