To learn how Belize City and, in particular, San Pedro were from 1978-1988 and how I knew, visit So you've come to the tropics? . An excerpt: In those days, there was a narrow, low-roofed passageway up to the 2nd floor of the then decrepit Pazlow Building (main courthouse) in Belize City. Half way up at a particularly low spot, there was a sign saying, "Mind Your Head" - not a bad piece of advice for anyone living in Belize in those days.
So you've come to the tropics?

Your home page is a very interesting read for some of us that have been going to Belize off and on for several years.

Mervino,
After reading your tales, I can't think of one good reason that you don't publish the whole enchilada in a book form!! It's an awesome tale and who but you to tell it the right way?!!

This is a work-productivity killer! I've been sitting here for the last hour & 15 reading your website & still going ! I'm hooked! Great writing.

Mervino,
Loved your website! Especially the photos cir. 1959. It must have been an even better place to visit back then? You must be overwhelmed with the progress & changes over the years? Did you ever think San Pedro would be a thriving, hustle & bustling tourist town? I love it as it is now, but would have loved to have seen it back then. Thanks a lot,
Kris
