Welcome to PG! This is the town Ya'axché is based in. The full name in Punta Gorda, but everybody in Belize says PG... I forget forget to write the full name for foreigners of "framily" (neologism for friends and family, and also for friends that are so close to you that become your family) at home.
Finally, after a month and a half living in the field station, I am going to move in to PG in the beginning of March, with Erik, the Swedish boy. We even have found a cool apartment there!
Well, coming back to facts. PG is a small town in the South of the country, in the Caribbean shore, and traditionally has been just a passing point for people coming in and out from or towards Guatemala and Honduras. Only 5000 inhabitants, among them a pretty significant expat community, due to the presence of many local and international organizations: Ya'axché, TIDE, SATIM, Plenty International, Peace Corps, Moho Cacao, the japanese Peace Corps (I still ignore the correct name)... most of them arrived in town during the last two decades.
Well, there is not much left I can say. At least till I move here and start getting to know the place more in detail. So I leave you with some pics f this charming place!
