This morning, I woke up to a FB message from my friend Patrick Butler – who is in Nepal now – that he saw my FB posts about Belize. And that if I went to Secret Beach, I should go to Bamboo Fence Swing Bar.

Once I reached Secret Beach, I had to weave thru all those overzealous folks trying to help us find a golf cart parking spot near their restaurant/bar and instead went straight for Bamboo Fence Swing Bar. I went in and asked for the owner. Giovanni, who was working at the bar, came out and introduced himself. I told him the story how my friend had come to his bar last September and asked me to go nowhere else but his place.

He was totally flattered!! He made a couple of welcome shots for us himself.

Before we left, we took a picture together. He asked me to send it to my friend.

So there, Patrick! This one is for you!!! We even matched our clothes for you!!!
