Happy 21st of September !!!
Belize's 25th year of Independence !!!!
Banana Bank was present at the Belmopan parade and celebrations with flying colors. John Carr on Aly Banana - decorations by Carolyn Carr. The Carr family moved to Belize and Belmopan in 1977. Belmopan was already considered the capital of Belize however at that time there were only maybe a little over 3000 habitants and the city was hardly a decade old. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belmopan This link has interesting information about Belmopan and it is in fact, THE SMALLEST CAPITAL IN THE ENTIRE WORLD !!! So, even another reason to visit Banana Bank Lodge which is only a few miles from Belmopan. In 1981 Belize aquired it's independence. The Carr family were actually living in Belmopan at that time and attended the ceremonies. Belmopan has grown quite abit since then and becomes a busier place every single day, it still doesn't need stop lights though !! No traffic jams in Belmopan !
