A Delightful Family



From the first day on the Caye Caulker this family befriended Linda and I in a special way.  Alaric, Tanisha and Jamar welcomed us with open arms.  In addition to Tanisha operating a breakfast, lunch and supper stand she is a full time Mom to Jamar, a four year old boy with much vim and vigor.  Alaric helps out with the food stand as well as a maintenance worker at another restaurant not far from the Hand 2 Mouth Fast Food stand.

When Linda and I first got off the water taxi our first order of business was to find a room for the night and as we got here in the late afternoon on a Saturday it was rather time consuming finding a right fit for the prize we wanted to pay.  Alaric was very helpful in his suggestions.

As you can see by the pictures Jamar has this twinkle in his eyes that tells you he is boy through and through. 

I stopped by yesterday and took this snapshots as well as Jamar helping me with the Flat Stanely Project.  He was very interested in the camera and in turn wanted to take some pictures of me, which I thought for a four year old turned out pretty darn good.  He definitely has an eye for photography.

It was a pretty warm day today and after picking up a few groceries decided to take a dip before doing my blogging.  I met up with Jamar once again and talked me into taking him along for a swim. 

Tomorrow I head to San Pedro and will be getting my extension on my visa and Saturday and Sunday will be spent filming and celebrating the Bob Marley Tribute Festival.  Lots of people call it the Bob Marley Birthday Party as his birthday is on Sunday.  I am looking forward to this event.

As a result of the filming I won’t be blogging for a few days but I hope to provide some good excerpts from this festival.
