  Life In Belize – Picking Sea Grapes  Oh to be a kid again! Some of the joys of living on a Caribbean island are that you can dig into your inner child and its OK. What do I mean? Let me explain. The other day while driving along on beautiful Ambergris Caye, my son observant as he is decided that he wanted a quick snack… Sea grapes! It just so happens that Sea grape trees are absolutely full of fruit at this time of year.  What is a seagrape? This is a lovely tree found in the tropics. Since its super salt tolerant it is often used in ocean side landscaping. Growing sea grapes can be found in sandy soil right on the beach and it produces clusters of fruit that resemble  grapes . Which makes one wonder, is it edible.. I have to say when i first came to Belize I was skeptical, but my wife, who grew up in Central America assured me they were good to eat..

San Pedro offers the perfect water to do many marine activities. One of the newest watersports that is creating a big wave on the island is Paddle Boarding. On a calm day the inside of the reef is perfect to head out and rent a board and go out for some much needed sun and Vitamin Sea! There are several outfits that will rent you a board for 10-15$ an hour, the rate goes down if you rent it for longer periods. The boards are about 15ft long and 3 feet wide, very light to carry and offer tons of delightful time out in the water. If you’ve never tried paddle boarding before, you should give a try while on the island. Its a ton of fun, not to mention the fact that it can be a good work out. Grab a board, they don’t offer much instruction when you rent it out but its relatively easy once you get the hang of it, and go have some fun. I always recommend using a bright life vest so you are highly visible to the boat captains, this will avoid them creating big wakes with their boat ...

One of the extra bonuses about traveling to Belize is having the opportunity to taste tropical exotic fruits! Several fruits like Bananas, watermelon and pineapples and mangos have a longer shelf life and can easily be transported to the USA, hence they are readily available at your local markets. However there are many other exotic fruits that don’t,  and can only be enjoyed while in the tropics. So don’t shy away from trying something new. Here in Ambergris Caye you’ll find many different fruit and veggie stands all around town. However if you want a good experience on how many locals get their fruits and veggies you'll need to try the local farmer’s market every Tuesday morning on the lagoon side of the island. Every Tuesday morning we make a trip to the back of the island also known as “el barcadero” were 3 to 4 different boats line up as early as 5am. They sail from Corozal or Belize City to be here on time to supply the islanders with fresh produce. It’s unbelieva...

6 Amazing Places to Scuba Dive Around the World I’ve heard it said that scuba diving is as close as most of us will ever come to experiencing outer space. I believe it. Descending down into the depths of the ocean, where all becomes quiet and weightless, and a whole new world of discoveries become possible, life always seems to fall back into place. Never am I so reminded about how small a piece of this world I occupy, and of how many awe-inspiring corners of the Earth there are left for me to explore. I first started scuba diving because of my unwavering wanderlust. Not only did I want to experience what was above ground, I wanted to get to know what thrived beneath it, too. (I attribute it to too many hours spent watching  The Little Mermaid  as a child.) Nonetheless, getting my scuba diving certification has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. No matter how many times I go underwater, I am always left captivated by the experience.  PHOTO: Goin...
