Nobody could stop oil drilling. We have the same situation in Caspian sea. Nobody cares about sturgeons and the black caviar. I know those guys will drink champagne either in Belize or in Kazakhstan. You are right Tilapia farming wouldn't able impacting a biodiversity in a range the oil drilling will do definitely. Poor people!

Oh, no! That white bikini Palm is nice but I couldn't afford it! I like guppies and Mexican Gulf sunset, no more!

Yes, I remember BOTH photos...Igor is probably booking his plane ticket now 😆 😆 😆 😆
White bikini palm, that's funny!

Reminds me of a joke...an older gentleman-unaccustomed to fitness-decides to buy a gym membership and get fit.
During his first session, he sees a lovely young thing walking through the gym.
He asks the trainer "what machine would make her notice me?"
The reply: "The ATM in the lobby".

Thanks for the pic of Chocolate.

Barb,
I think Chocolate rents a couple of rooms to tourists. I could check--he doesn't do the web, but he has friends who do. How about you and H spend some time there, say, all of January? 😀
Igor,
the "white palm" photo was funny to me as I took it in late December as Belize suffered through a cold front. Local Belizean men were shivering in jackets while admiring Canadian women soaking up the winter solstice sun. 😆

Barb,
Got to love google.
I found this listing:

I doubt he checks email, but I bet his wife answers the phone!

Thanks Erik, maybe another winter.
You'll recall there's a wedding soon ... already dust in my wallet.

Igor, yes, that would bring tears to most guys' eyes. 😆 😆

Sorry to derail from the important topic of oil development in the Caye/Belize.

I admit it--way too much time on my hands.
Doing the staycation thing, yet it is too hot to enjoy my garden. W is sleeping as she works nights.
Anyway, here is another site for Chocolate that has a photo of his house and another email he probably won't reply to, but I'm sure his wife answers the phone:

Great cottage for guests...
I certainly hope he does well, he deserves it.
