karin - did you stay at Beaches and Dreams or in town? I think Hopkins sounds great!!!!
I went to the Garifuna Cultural Pagent on Ambergris Caye last November and met the nicest people. They suggested Hopkins as a place to go for Settlement Day festivities. I plan to stay 2 to 3 days.

This time, I stayed at Tipple Tree Beya in the village, but have stayed at B&D before and loved it...
If you have a few days, try to get there a couple of days before. There are small celebrations and parties almost every evening in the village... A small group of guys have been playing drums almost every evening at King Kassava. I just have to look at all my pictures and I am ready to go back ... ;-)

That's exactly what I had in mind. Sounds perfect.

You will have a great time ! I am so jealous !... ;-)

Hi Karin,
Are you the Karin I loaned my vest to in Hopkins?
Conrad

Sorry, been away for a couple of weeks... Haven't met any Conrad or Kathy in Hopkins... Maybe next time ! ;-)
