Today Terrie and I went to the Butterfly Farm here in San Pedro, where they Raise "Blue Morpho" Butterflies It cost 15 usd. per person and took a half hour or so. The Girl that did the tour was also the owner and very knowledgeable. The Butterflies are a woodsy Brown Color when their wings are closed but when they fly or open their wings you see the beautiful iridescent Blue Color, The Farm is located on the main drag next door to the belize Yacht Club, South of Ramon's Resort. I would recommend walking across the street to the fruit stand and buying a papaya (this is what the butterflies eat) as a gift, this will cleanse your Karma and Make for Happy Butterflies! I hope you enjoy and have a Fabulous Day...B

[Delete Comment] Good Gym in San Pedro BelizeI finally took the initiative and went and found a good Gym and Fitness Club that is only five minutes from where I am staying. San Pedro Fitness Club is a nice gym with a really excellent Pool (actually more like three pools that are interconnected, it also has some free weights and cardio equipment so you can get in a decent workout. They have two tennis courts though you will have to bring your own Racquets because they only have Junior size racquets, I used the Cardio Equipment Some of it the electronic controls werent working on one of the electric Bikes, but I still got a decent workout! also you can workout barefoot! after all the is Belize, the Pool is absolutely nice! with lots of places to lay out in the sun. and this only cost me 15 dollars belize for the day although I think I underpayed because I just read on the Brochure that the cost is 15 usd per day, which actually still would be a fair deal because of the convenience of having a good gym in San Pedro, where I Live, they also have weekly rates of 50 usd, or two weeks for 85 us, I think they are negotiable on price though I hope you wont negotiate them down too much because I really want this place to stay in business and running a gym anywhere especially with a nice Pool is expensive! they are open monday through friday 7 am to 8 pm and Saturday 7 to 5, Sunday the pool only (not the gym) is open, from 12 pm to 5 pm. DirectionsFrom the Water Taxi head south, if you are walking it should take about 30 to 45 minutes to get there, If you take a Taxi it should cost less than 10 bux belize, so head south on the main drag that fronts the Beach, to a corner where you will see the road kill bar and a large yellow building, turn right and head west you will pass a grocery store, called Publics, keep heading down this gravel road and you will run right into San Pedro Fitness Club. Im sorry I didnt post street names but most of the time you cant find any....Burnie

First time I got to go on an international snorkel/dive trip was to Belize in 1981. I was fifteen and we drove down in a Datsun Pickup full of dive gear, and a portable compressor, back then it was hard to find a place to fill your scuba tanks, years later I decided it was time to take a break from my Job and see Belize through a greybeards eyes, to say that San Pedro Belize has changed is an understatement, they even have a hyperbaric Facility. I will post here about snorkeling,traveling, and stuff that happens along the way. Thank You for visiting! Burnie Archives
