When we are on vacation, I absolutely refuse to cook. For one, I cook all the time at home and I like a little break. But mainly, I want to sample as much of the local cuisine as I can. Experiencing as many new and different experiences as I can is part of why I love to travel so much. I LOVE TO LEARN new things, see new things and go to new places.
PATZ Delicatessen was a little place owned by an American ex-pat who now makes Belize home. Everything was fresh and made to order and very good. We stopped in for lunch, while out on one of our island expeditions.




Larry and I decided to split a meal since we knew we would be going out for dinner later. We do this a lot when we travel so we don’t eat to much. We split a chicken salad sandwich and a salad with a side of fries, which made for a very delicious light lunch.


PATZ, like so many of the fun places we stopped at, is an open air restaurant filled with plenty of personality and local art.





It is so much fun to look at the world through the eyes of a tourist. You see things in a whole new light, with a new perspective.
Oh that restaurant sounds fun! And very delicious food, too! xo

My husband and I split meals as well. Otherwise we end up taking food back to the hotel. And those refrigerators are small! 😜

Plus we want to go and enjoy many different options too, and not have to eat the same thing over again while on vacation. 🙂

That’s why we do it, too. Isn’t it crazy how we can’t eat as much now that we’re older? Metabolism. 🤣
