If you think living in AC is remote and hard to find things you should go up to Xcalac MX.
I built a solar powered house there and had no water except what we caught from the roof or bought from Chetumal (120 Mi by bad road).
The town of Xcalac was powered by a solar/wind experiment and you could never tell if the town would have the power on or not because no one there fully understood the system (Well, one american did, but, he got beat up and died on the bus trying to get to a doctor.) The army patrolled the beach a couple of times a day and searched your vehicle if you wanted to go see your neighbor a click or two away. I'm over that place forever and don't miss it a bit. A nice little retreat on the north end of AC was my grand idea, but got sidetracked to MX.
Stupid move and now it's too late for me. AGE! Stick with AC gang, No Walmart is a blessing, if everyone could afford it everyone would be there with no room for you.

Talking about perfume SS.....I can remember when "Evening in Paris" was the pafume par excellance! in Belize...everyone who could afford a little bottle wore it. I have to say that perfume ( or company) fell off the face of the earth...have never been able to find it...and would love to have some for oldtimes sake lol..lots of memories...I remember sitting on the edge of the warf on AC (those long boardwalks going out to the sea)...the wind blowing your "evening in Paris" to the one behind you lol. ..Those were the days.

My mom used to wear "Evening in Paris" I remember that little cobalt blue bottle with the tassle on it.

What I miss the most in AC is Hershey's Tollhouse Chocolate Chips and Hershey's Kisses (with almonds). Geez, I'm making myself hungry just typing this.

Silk -- I'm making a note to myself. Next time I come down I will bring you both. Do you mean *Nestle's* tollhouse choc chips? I'll try to keep them chilled so they don't melt and turn white.

Hi Silk, I remember you we used to chat on the Ambergris Caye chat when SS ran it. And you were planning to move there. Haven't heard from you since then. Seems like you're doing so well down there. Lots of luck to you, your silks are so beautiful.
