Letter from the Editor

Welcome back to BELIZEmagazine.com - The Internet Magazine of Belize. Once again the work was a lot of fun, enabling our staff to meet new friends and to again venture into the back streeets and trailways of Belize, the jewel in the Caribbean. Up close and personal old fashion journalism from on the surface is our approach. So along the way we have met some extraordinary Belizeans and we plan to follow edition after edition making sure that you get to meet them all too. We do not intend to be political or controversial, we all have more than we need of that. We also do not plan to give any answers, only to attempt to enlighten ourselves and our readers as we promote and publicize the country of Belize. This second Edition of BELIZEmagazine.com comes complete with over 80 photographs.

We would like to thank all our advertisers. A portion of all advertisement revenues from BELIZEmagazine.com goes directly towards the funding of BelizeRivers.org, an environmental initiative for the promotion & protection of the rivers of Belize.
