As is the case lately, the NYTimes is focusing on central america lots. This time, it’s Belize and covering the interior of the country.
“IF the world had any ends,” Aldous Huxley wrote in 1934, Belize — then known as British Honduras— “would certainly be one of them. It is not on the way from anywhere to anywhere else. It has no strategic value. It is all but uninhabited.”
Almost 75 years later, Belize still feels remote. It’s roughly the size of Massachusetts, yet it has only a handful of traffic lights. The two-lane road that spans the length of the country is not, in many places, paved. If Huxley were around to be a consumer of American pop culture, however, he’d find that Belize — or at least the strip of it that runs along the Caribbean Sea — has been discovered.
