In Mayan tradition there is a greeting which is In Lak'ech. In Lak'ech means, "I am another yourself (A modern day interpretation) and also means I am you, and you are me (A traditional Mayan interpretation)"

This Mayan greeting is an honoring for each other and a statement of unity. What few understand is that In Lak'ech ~ is not only a honorable Mayan greeting-It is a moral code. It is a way to live,with ALL forms of life in our world. When one lives the Mayan code of In Lak'ech, we understand that everything we do in this world effects all, either in a positive or negative way, depending on our actions and motivations.

Belize How to live and eat organic

Living in Belize - Produce Shopping in Belize

Expatriate Blog

Sunday, 27 February 2011 00:00

Produce Shopping in Belize.... How do you currently buy your produce?  Well, it is a beautiful Sunday morning in the high 70s with a magnificent breeze. It's quiet - just the birds and parrots chirping and the wind chimes singing as I sit on the verandah reading my latest favorite novel. Then comes the car with the wonderful lady bringing her produce so we can purchase our weeks supply of goodies. Fresh from the garden and organic - mmmm good! I buy bananas, Jamaican limes, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peanuts, banana chips (better than potato chips by the way) some squash and lots more. I now have 4 large bags of a variety of organic produce and I spend approximately $40 BZE which is $20 USD.  It is probably not to hard to surmise how charming it is to have a wonderful person come to you on a Sunday morning and bring you your produce at a fraction of the price you would pay in other countries. And no traffic or grocery stores to migrate, no worries, just absolute kindness and appreciation. I am honored to support the local vendors and I receive service in a way that I would not get to experience otherwise. Within 15 minutes I am back to my wonderful cup of coffee, my novel, and a wonderful morning breeze. How wonderful and relaxing.... I will be making a big colorful fresh salad in a few hours for lunch!

Smiles,

Macarena

Spain seeing more decline in property prices

Spanish property down further as expert warns of two year wait for recovery

Spanish prices down Real estate prices in Spain are still falling according to the latest figures to be published by the country’s National Institute of Statistics but there are signs that sellers are more realistic. The INE figures show that residential property prices fell 2.2% in the third quarter of 2010 compared with the same period in 2009. The price of both new properties and re-sales are falling, down 2.6% and 1.8% respectively year on year. Madrid was the only region to experience rising prices in the third quarter of 2010, up by 0.9% compared to a year earlier. Andalucía saw prices fall by 2.2%, The Balearics were down 2% and the Canary Islands down 2.9%. The biggest fall was in Cantabria, down 6.7%. Vendors are dropping their asking prices in record numbers, according to figures from Idealista.com, one of Spain’s leading property portals. A record 26,188 vendors advertising their homes for sale at Idealista reduced their asking prices in November, 15% more than the previous month. Compared to November last year, 80% more vendors reduced their prices. But properties are still hard to sell. A report in El Mundo says that there are 45,000 homes on the Balearic property market. In Palma de Mallorca alone there are reported to be 15,000 empty homes for sale. However, the rental market in The Balearics is doing well, with a strong rebound in demand, according to local estate agents. The construction sector is also suffering. Housing starts fell by 25% in the third quarter of 2010 compared with the previous three months. Over 12 months there were 69,194 housing starts, 31% less than the previous 12 month period, and 246,331 construction completions, 34% down. An analysis by Spanish property expert Mark Stucklin of Spanish Property Insight, suggests that prices are set to keep falling for another two years. He points out that the latest economic data from the Bank of Spain shows the full brutal extent of the country’s real estate crash. The figures reveal that the supply of new homes outstripped demand for most of the last decade leading to today’s glut, which the bank estimates at somewhere between 700,000 and 1,200,000 homes. The biggest glut is to be found in Valencian, Murcia and Cantabria, over 6% of the housing stock. Andalucia is in the second group with a glut of 3.6%. The Bank of Spain figures also show how official house prices have fallen back to where they were around 2005. ‘That is not to say they won’t fall further. In reality, official figures belie the true extent of the crash as prices have fallen significantly more than they suggest,’ said Stucklin. A chart also compares the price evolution today to previous property slumps in 1979 and 1991. In both previous cases prices fell for about four and a half years before bottoming out. ‘So if the past is anything to go buy, prices today will continue sliding for another two years, and could fall another 10% if this turns out to be a repeat of 1979,’ Stucklin added. The bank data also shows that the biggest falls in prices have been in areas where foreigners tend to buy holiday homes, the islands, Malaga, Almeria, Murcia, and Alicante, with price falls above 15%. The biggest decline of all was in Malaga, home of the Costa del Sol, down 20% since the peak.
