Here a Flag, There a Flag, Everywhere a Flag Flag

September is celebration time in Belize!  Key events took place in Belize history during this month.  September 10, 1798 the Belize Baymen drove off the Spanish armada of 32 ships in a decisive victory at the battle of St. George's Caye.  September 21, 1981 the former British Honduras acheived independence from the U.K. to become Belize.



The people here love their flag and it can be found on most every car, home and establishment during September.


My C-Town crew gathers to watch the parade celebrating independence day!
















Some day I'll be a part of tnis parade.  Hopefully I'll find a way to do so without prancing through the streets wearing feathers.  

I had expected to be well into my house construction by now.  There were delays in finishing the plans, the great hope is that we will be granted a building permit the first of the week.  Construction will start October 3rd and I could be living in an unfurnished new home before the year is done!  It will be 
like going back in time when I waa a college student and didn't own much of anything.  Where can I find bean bag chairs or cement blocks and lumber to make shelves?
