In fact, it hit just a few miles south of where we live. We had been watching Tropical Storm Nana make its way here, and thankfully, it turned into a hurricane with 75 mph winds just before hitting land, so it just barely made the grade to be classified as a hurricane. That means it was pretty weak by hurricane standards. If you look at this chart below you can see how much difference in strength just a few miles per hour wind speed makes. For example, if the winds had been just 10 miles an hour more, then the hurricane would have been nearly 3 times as strong! And we certainly would have sustained a lot more damage than we did.</div><div class="separator"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXx-bmgLThVVv9Idmw7I4fDYc6ezyXlZU6H4cwbhUmHYKLXxwp0rCWjU5nLG-B7FjrtLEjvcWkvuXpTf7CQSgIbzYCyhJXHluBQvy7xaPjTnpKMi3Q7zGkVov7edYLiG2PBQUIdji6_OE/s713/hurricane-strengths.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="713" data-original-width="265" height="781" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXx-bmgLThVVv9Idmw7I4fDYc6ezyXlZU6H4cwbhUmHYKLXxwp0rCWjU5nLG-B7FjrtLEjvcWkvuXpTf7CQSgIbzYCyhJXHluBQvy7xaPjTnpKMi3Q7zGkVov7edYLiG2PBQUIdji6_OE/w291-h781/hurricane-strengths.jpg" width="291" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiA6d8ZxdAI1GtsacLaQlQT9_SFynkMVbQbtUve4F6ELpQWj3w8G3X-FHFLdtuKTQaUjr-EdL86C4OZvOsJIjRQGCSQWKyL8zhZeFHhYAYAftkn_K24eja4lf3jovwBhIqz1Q4BDXoSXg/s2016/fallen-house1.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" height="469" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiA6d8ZxdAI1GtsacLaQlQT9_SFynkMVbQbtUve4F6ELpQWj3w8G3X-FHFLdtuKTQaUjr-EdL86C4OZvOsJIjRQGCSQWKyL8zhZeFHhYAYAftkn_K24eja4lf3jovwBhIqz1Q4BDXoSXg/w625-h469/fallen-house1.jpg" width="625" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Even this weakest of hurricanes blew the roof off 10 homes in the village, and caused 3 homes to<br />fall down off their posts.

One day Eric and <br />I went snorkeling with Shelly in the channel between our island and the next one, and we saw a white-<br />spotted eagle ray, a favorite. Eric got separated from us and saw an octopus. Shelly and I got charged <br />by a reef shark (or possibly a bull shark). Shelly later laughed that after pointing out the shark she <br />instinctively pulled me in front of her. We clapped our hands and otherwise tried to scare away the <br />shark (not sure what you're really supposed to do), but I was ready to punch that sucker in the nose if it <br />came that close. Thankfully, it turned back when it was a few feet away. We hastily swam for shore and <br />kept looking back behind us. We saw the shark again in front of us because it apparently circled around <br />to check us out again. Happily, it did not come closer and we made it safely to shore.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn9meextmfwD7xJ7LFN3vnklboG3b0MRaqzILP8OjcjlIYIvRQZuw9CGjkuueI-5Mfzd_rAOKW08c1x_k-sWE9Od-IAdm-UNKTpvKUaykWl3b0OoVgd7AYQ3Mi98kt_PbV8D2uRgLUWCw/s4032/20200807_112155.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn9meextmfwD7xJ7LFN3vnklboG3b0MRaqzILP8OjcjlIYIvRQZuw9CGjkuueI-5Mfzd_rAOKW08c1x_k-sWE9Od-IAdm-UNKTpvKUaykWl3b0OoVgd7AYQ3Mi98kt_PbV8D2uRgLUWCw/s640/20200807_112155.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A stingray that also liked to hang out in the waters by the cabanas.

However, for several reasons, the government decided to open the international airport on August 15th. (The wisdom of this is a matter of great debate in the country right now.) In any case, tourists that do come have several requirements. They must provide proof of a negative Covid-19 test from within 72 hours of travel, or they must submit to a rapid test at the airport (at their own expense). They must also download an app to their phone that tracks their movement and allows the government to check in with them on any symptoms. Plus, they are only allowed to stay at approved "gold star" all-inclusive resorts that have their own restaurants and tour operations. These tourists are not supposed to leave the resorts and wander around the villages, but we'll see how many actually adhere to the rules. </div>A Travelers Loghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10361845222857133875noreply@blogger.com0Hopkins, Belize16.8534596 -88.2813944-11.456774236178845 -123.4376444 45.163693436178846 -53.125144399999996tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2961934430982565338.post-18902363823638736742020-07-26T15:04:00.005-07:002020-07-30T18:28:48.732-07:007-23 to 7-26-2020 Friends Trip to Sarteneja<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifydzabJolFWyfSPPjSOpbNEfRBq1UiX70ooX30qML5fCSN72Lt-9bptTG2rGz6ueT8xqeJM3kJcmZC6CBVgAWMNwIBnBclg3IWOBx5_DG0ZiN00mAXjMnxFf7Fgm1b9Hm1j9xRzLtZWk/s4032/20200724_171120.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="469" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifydzabJolFWyfSPPjSOpbNEfRBq1UiX70ooX30qML5fCSN72Lt-9bptTG2rGz6ueT8xqeJM3kJcmZC6CBVgAWMNwIBnBclg3IWOBx5_DG0ZiN00mAXjMnxFf7Fgm1b9Hm1j9xRzLtZWk/w625-h469/20200724_171120.jpg" width="625" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We figure that now (before the international airport opens) is the time to do some traveling within<br />Belize, so we went with a bunch of our friends up north to Sarteneja in the Corozal District.

away anything that can be reused).</td></tr>

Guatemala illegally (with an older woman and a child). The third is a Belizean man returning on a repatriation flight<br />
from Houston, Texas in the US. All three people were asymptomatic and are in quarantine. The government is also<br />
conducting contacting tracing.

Despite these three new cases, the government feels things are safe enough here to relax restrictions even more. The curfew was extended until 10pm during the week, and midnight on Friday and Saturday - woohoo! We can also have private parties, social gatherings, weddings, funerals, etc. of up to 100 people. Contact sports (though not competitions) are allowed - yay, jujitsu class is back on! Basically, almost everything can be open except bars/nightclubs/rum shops and childcare facilities. The State of Emergency is set to expire at the end of the month, so in July things should return to the way they were before the coronavirus. However, it will likely be a while before the borders and airport open, so things will still not be back to normal since there will be no tourists to support the badly hurting economy.</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The most recent one of these updates available - Belize is still Covid-19 free!!! Because of that Belize has opened up even <br />more. We still have an 8pm to 5am curfew, but that was extended to start at 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Also, we can <br />now exercise whenever we want, not just in the mornings. We can have social gatherings up to 40 people (with social <br />distancing, of course) and play non-contact sports. Basically all businesses can open (except bars/nightclubs) if they want to. <br />Many have, but some decide to remain closed. Most resorts/cabanas/guest houses/tour operators are offering deep discounts <br />to get in some local tourism. We definitely plan to take advantage of this while it's still quiet in Belize (before the borders or <br />international airport open up - no idea when that will happen).</td></tr>

linger after finishing swimming. Tour operators can open for diving and snorkeling (but not fishing) trips. Restaurants <br />
will be allowed to open for dine-in customers (until 7pm), but only by reservation, only for outdoor seating, tables <br />
must be 6 feet apart, and guests are limited to 10 people per table. Churches can open but are limited to 10 members <br />
of the congregation plus the minister and essential assistants (no choirs). We can also now travel freely between <br />
districts. Belizean citizens can return to the country if they apply, are approved, come through a designated checkpoint, <br />
and quarantine for 14 days at their own expense. </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pao de Queijo, a Brazilian cheese bread that is naturally gluten free because it is made with tapioca flour or cassava flour.<br />
We were introduced to these last summer in L.A. and I (Cara) am a little obsessed with them now. At first I figured I was <br />
going to suffer for eating bread, but they were soooo delicious. Then I discovered they were gluten free, and that opened up <br />
a whole new world. I ate them every chance I got and vowed to try to make them. There are different ways to make these, <br />
and since I don't currently have a muffin pan I used the heated milk method, which makes a thicker dough that you can drop <br />
in balls onto a baking sheet. I made these once before using tapioca flour as the recipe calls for, and they were very good - <br />
not as light and airy as the ones we had in California, but still good. This time I tried using cassava flour. They are even <br />
denser and darker in color, but still good. They are chewy, garlicky, cheesy little bites of heaven.<br />
Update: Since making these I have found a muffin pan, so next time I will use the other method (and tapioca flour) because <br />
it sounds like they will turn out lighter (less dense) and more like what I experience in L.A. </td></tr>

At first, it looked like people were not allowed to exercise by walking, jogging or running in the mornings anymore. However, that appears to be false. Yay - we enjoy and need our morning walks (for exercise, sanity and vitamin D)! It also appears that take-out and delivery from restaurants is allowed, although we aren't using that convenience, and most are closed in our village anyway. The buses have indeed stopped running, and there is no traveling between districts and cities/towns/villages except for very limited reasons and workers.<br />
<br />
There are lots of regulations about which businesses can be open and when, but that doesn't really affect us much. However, on Sundays almost everything is shut down now - no stores are open, and you basically can't be outside your yard unless it's an emergency. That's fine - we can handle one day a week with no walk.<br />

However, as of this morning, and as a result of mapping exercises, there are now 13 confirmed Covid-19 cases in Belize, and two of those infected have died. Three of the new cases were found as a result of the mapping exercises, and all three of those people were asymptomatic. So, starting at 8 pm tonight the entire country is under a 14 day quarantine (by law). That means no traveling between districts is allowed. All transportation (buses, taxis, etc.) throughout the country has been suspended. No take out or delivery is allowed anywhere The only reason anyone can be outside now (between 5 am and 8 pm) is to get groceries, go to the pharmacy, get fuel for your personal vehicle, or go to a bank, and all of these businesses have very limited hours. Again, people found violating these laws are subject to arrest. Naturally, we are staying inside.<br />

Don't let the numbers fool you, though. There are likely many more cases in the country, but there is not widespread testing. In fact, the wife of the man who died posted about their situation (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/maria.estella.376/posts/2087932981350904" target="_blank">on Facebook here</a>), and her husband was denied testing at two clinics in San Ignacio before he was finally tested in Belmopan, then later transferred (in critical condition) to the hospital in Belize City. They are doing social mapping of the infected, though, and those mapped are getting tested, so that is good.<br />
<br />
Belize may not be testing a lot, but they are otherwise taking things seriously. The country is in a nationwide state of emergency. Schools are all closed. Restaurants and bars are closed, though a few restaurants are open for take out only. Most government offices are closed. Non essential businesses are closed. All events are cancelled. The rum distillery is now making hand sanitizer, although it's not available in our village yet. Borders are closed except for returning Belizeans. Airports are closed except for cargo. No gatherings are allowed, and people must stay at least 3 feet apart. A curfew is in effect - nobody is allowed outside between the hours of 8 pm and 5 am. During the day you are basically only allowed out to walk your dogs, get money, go to the grocery, or go to the pharmacy. They have suspended all mail service. They have postponed the need to get your monthly immigration stamp (people will have to back pay once immigration is open again). You are also only allowed out to exercise (walking, jogging or running) between 5 am and 8 am - no joy bike riding or swimming in the ocean allowed. (However, it is up for debate as to whether that was a typo and they meant 5 am to 8 pm - we'll see.) So far over 300 people (5 in our village) have been arrested for breaking the curfew and/or social distancing rules, and that is punishable by 2 years in jail or a $5,000 BZD ($2,500 USD) fine! Needless to say, we are following the rules and staying home.<br />
