There were no deaths reported after tropical storm Harvey passed through Belize yesterday. Hundreds of people in that country died from storms last year.
Despite the poverty in that country and the incidence of violent crimes related to poverty, Belize is launching Nautilus IV next month to try and increase tourism in their country. Nautilus IV is a submarine that will tour the Belize Barrier Reef 6 feet below the surface of the ocean waters. The underwater observatory will take regular sunset cruises to elicit how light changes and filters through life in the ocean.
Other Belize tourists’ favorites include fishing, boating, scuba diving, snorkeling, rafting, kayaking, bird watching, jungle life flora and fauna, and many Maya ruins. Experts and travel guides warn that most of the crime in Belize occurs around Belize City. Americans are not targeted, and should stay with their own groups near the activities that they have visited Belize to enjoy.
Tropical storm Harvey caused no deaths as it passed through Guatemala yesterday; however, a different kind of storm is taking hold. The “iron fist” party is leading in the polls, and elections are less than one month away.
Most people perceive the “iron fist” leaders as assuming an authoritative posture. Therefore human rights violations and an end to justice may return to Guatemala as has been the case before.
The economy in Argentina is growing at a rate of 9%. Car sales to Brazil are up as are exports of grain and oilseed. Import growth has increased at a higher rate than exports. Inflation is eroding the competitive edge of their currency making imported goods less expensive. In other words, consumers are happy.
