Belizean place names

Bermudian Landing, Belize

We are staying at the Nature Resort in the tiny "village" of Bermudian Landing--all of which lies within the Community Baboon Sanctuary. I must say this country has a fascinating collection of place names and this vicinity did not fail to deliver: Burrell Boom, Sand Hill, Teakettle Village, Ladyville, Rancho Dolores, Hattieville, Silk Grass, Spanish Lookout, Caves Branch, Armenia, Belmopan--to name a few...but Doublehead Cabbage might be one of my favorites!

And I LOVED the school motto (in Spanish instead of the traditional Latin): Hoy no maƱana!
