Alas, I am afraid I have to agree with you though.<BR/><BR/>babs: patience and kindness are my middle names!<BR/><BR/>Islazina: that is an incredible statistic. Who are the good sources? I have read nothing in the paper regarding that. Besides, the street project, to my understanding, is being undertaken by a contractor...not city employees.<BR/><BR/>steve: i'm not too sure about the cutbacks. we have more and more new people being added to the police force and new offices being created. I know a lot of people who work for the city and none of them have heard of cutbacks or are afraid of loosing their jobs.Islagringohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181198510287530636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-44080128838026708442009-02-11T15:26:00.000-06:002009-02-11T15:26:00.000-06:00Ya know, and I hafta say, not withstanding the pla...Ya know, and I hafta say, not withstanding the place in my heart Isla has .... I just spent 2 weeks on Ambergris Caye in Belize ...<BR/><BR/>Some Major Comparisons.<BR/><BR/>English is the National Language.<BR/>The people are proud of their home.<BR/>The place is clean, and the people keep it that way.<BR/>The prices are low.<BR/>It's easy to get to.<BR/>The beaches are great.<BR/>Mayan history up the Wazoo...<BR/><BR/>As much as I have grown to love Isla (after 6 trips), the ambiance in Belize is a lot different. The most notable difference is that the natives WANT to like you; you're not just a Cash Cow. <BR/><BR/>I urge you all to give it a try.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-89268994100378189812009-02-11T13:25:00.000-06:002009-02-11T13:25:00.000-06:00I was going to ask about the very point IslaZina r...I was going to ask about the very point IslaZina raised.
