You won't be able to not seem like a gringo so relax about trying not to. Amber gris ...am-ber-grees, -gris, Its an excrement from an infirm wale (Wale Vomit). Caye? I say caye not Key. Have fun
You can find the pronunciation here... //www.ambergriscaye.com/pages/town/island.html ... and there is island music to listen to while you read! The school teacher (retired) in me applauds you for wanting to know!!
Elbert is right. When you get to San Pedro, buy a "Just Another Gringo in Belize" teeshirt to wear and have fun!
