Our room at the Chaleanor.
The view from our window in the Chaleanor.
Washing day.
Go carts, Dangriga style.
Main Street Dangriga
Roots Kitchen. Good Garifuno soul food (whole fish cooked in coconut milk, hudut).
Fun, laid back, good food (like southern cooking, lots of fat), family-oriented, dirty, dusty, beautiful, interesting.
We stayed at the Chaleanor Hotel, and the people who run it are wonderful. We got corn tortillas at Rosalinda's Tortilla Factory (just a largish building) where they sell them by the pound. We went to the store several times to stock up on provisions, and found out all the stores are owned by Chinese people. We walked across the whole town watching people doing their washing (often by hand) and hanging it out to dry under their stilted wood houses. We ate at Roots (tiny shack with slanted floor and 4 tiny tables and great food). Lots of people with dread-locks, and a very casual feel to the whole town. The main ethnic group is Garafuno and the language sounds a little like English but is impossible to understand with Swahili and Karib and Spanish mixed in.
Isabel got sick for one day here, but fortunately it cleared up in time for us to feel good about moving on.
