Belize City

For half of our trip, we stayed in Belize City with Edna's sister Molly. Belize city is an interesting place. Most of the people are very poor and live in tiny shacks. But Molly has a really nice house.
This is Molly's house.
This is her neighbor's house. Most of the houses are on stilts for hurricanes. It's kind of a trip. There are some nicer spots that are geared more towards the tourists that roll in from the cruise ships. Mostly, it's near the water.There's also a place called Old Belize, which is a spot that conserves the heritage of Belize back in the old days. There's a museum, restaurant, etc. But the cool part of it is this beach with a huge slide and grass huts and stuff. It looks so fun! It's really pretty and people throw parties and weddings and stuff there.
We ate at the restaurant and it was so good! Here's Edna and her huge pina colada. I wish we could have stayed longer, but it closed early.
