.. I've heard that Belize was a retirement Mecca for Americans. Stopped there on a cruise last summer. Sure, they speak English, but the phrase "grinding poverty" came to mind. I would imagine Americans must live in compounds, because what I saw was pretty ramshackle. No, thank you.
I agree with you, as that is what we saw in Belize also, on a trip there about 10 yrs. ago. Was kind of shocking after all the "sunshine and roses" propaganda spewed about the wonderful lifestyle Americans could live there.
Came away shaking my head!
