Sunset over BelizeMy brother-in-law e-mailed me that it was 30 below zero in Cedar Rapids two nights ago. I spoke on the phone with a friend in New Hampshire who said it was 24 below. Those ‘Brrrrr’ reports and waking up to a temperature of one below zero, our coldest night of the year, I’m thinking of a beach, an inflatable kayak and warm sunshine caressing my shoulders. A great spot for that combination would be Belize. An acquaintance of mine e-mailed me a few days ago that he was headed down there for some kayaking, so I did some research. Belize is a small country in the western Caribbean southwest of the Cayman Islands, bordering Guatemala and Mexico. The barrier reef off Belize offers amazing kayaking and snorkeling. Several companies offer multi-day trips on the coral reefs and atolls as well as the Macal and Mopan Rivers. River kayaking is also popular in the Maya Mountain region in Southern Belize. After checking into it, I’m adding Belize to my “wish list”!
