The Barefoot Bar

One of the many places we love to eat on the Placencia Peninsula is the Barefoot Bar. We usually go at lunch, but they have a great dinner menu as well. Very extensive menu and reasonable prices. Great drinks!

Wonderful and colorful signs and tables...

Barefoot is right on the Placencia main road and has fantastic decor!

Kokomouse!

Introducing the new Mascot of Kokomo and The Maine Stay... it's Kokomouse!

Karen found this photo surfing... I'm working on a Kokomouse road crossing sign. 

Can't be one-upped in that department!

Orchids...

Orchid at Maya Beach Hotel

Just the other day I noticed this gorgeous orchid at the Maya Beach Hotel. I have heard for many years that Belize has more varieties of orchids than any other country. Not sure of the accuracy of that claim, but there is no doubt that the abundance and variety is very great. 

Those of you wanting to explore Belize and see these, might find this book valuable.
