two fires at two different places the same day - that sounds like someone is playing terrible games.

From Lee of Cyber Caye Caulker:

Total loss, only one partial wall remains. The fire inspectors are here
investigating. Definitely arson. Here are the pics again. The fire is still
smoldering, 14 hours later, they shoot water on it from time to time. They
found the safe in the office and were cutting it open to get their
customer's passports for them. 5 rooms were occupied.

Certainly glad to hear no one was hurt but curious what their plans are to rebuild as I was planning to stay there over Thanksgiving. Sounds like I need to find new lodging. bummer!
