In the September Celebrations Spirit

Residents of San Pedro have already started decorating their homes and businesses as Belize gets into the September Celebrations spirit in observance of their patriotic celebrations. Friday, September 10 marks the celebration of St. George's Caye Day and Tuesday, September 21 is Belize's Independence Day. Here are a few pictures of homes and businesses that are nicely decorated with our red, white and blue flag.
