Ambergris Caye encourages visitors to kick off their shoes,just relax and enjoy paradise in every form. The island is 26miles long making Ambergris Caye the largest of the cayes inBelize. Located in the northern-most waters of the country,just about three-quarters of a mile west of the Belize BarrierReef the white sandy island stretches making Ambergris Cayeunique from many other Caribbean islands. The entire caye,including the island’s only town, San Pedro, has some of themost prominent dive and snorkel sites, including the Hol ChanMarine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley, Robles Point at BacalarChico and Mexico Rocks. All these marine sites sit along theregion’s longest Barrier Reef. Swimming or diving in any ofthese sites would transport you to a new world, placing you

The options are many andthe fun will abound. But, perhaps what is renowned worldwide about San Pedro is thebarefoot and party lifestyle. Every month there is some form ofcelebration you can look forward to, in other words there is alwaysa reason to celebrate. Celebration includes cultural festivities suchas Juan Carnaval and Dia de San Pedro to the various food festivi-ties such as the annual food festival, lobster festival or the differentisland cookout competitions held in different places. There is alsothe annual Eco Challenge, the patriotic September celebrations, theGarifuna Settlement Day festivities held in November and the island’sunique traditional Christmas and New Year’s street celebrations.One of the festivities that San Pedro has gained international recog-nition for is the annual International Costa Maya Festival. Celebratedin August, the Costa Maya Festival is geared to highlight the impor-tance of the Mayan civilization within the region.

“What time is it?” I asked Dulce. “I think my watch has stopped.”

“Mine says it’s ten minutes to nine,” she said, “but I didn’t reset itwhen we arrived in the U.S.”

We had flown in to Washington, D.C. that morning on our way tovisit Dennis Jr. and we were just driving away from the rental carcompany.

“O.K. My watch has definitely stopped,” I said. “It says eightminutes past eight. I either have to get it fixed or buy a new one. It’sprobably just the battery. Keep an eye out for a place where it lookslike they might work on watches.”

We drove for miles through the suburbs of Alexandria, Virginiawithout seeing any place that looked like it might even sell a watchbattery.

“Slow down!” Dulce said, as we came upon a little strip mall.“What is that place?”

One of the stores had a display window full of clocks and watches.The writing above the store was in a foreign language.

“I think that writing is Hebrew,” I said, as I looked for a parkingspot.

“Look,” Dulce said. “All of the stores have signs in Hebrew.”

“Oh, this must be the Jewish business section,” I said. “Well, let’sgive it a try.”

In the shop, I asked the little old man behind the counter, “Can youchange the battery in my watch for me?”

“Sir, I cannot repair your watch,” he said.

“Why not? It’s just an ordinary watch with a replaceable battery.”

“I do not repair watches,” he said. “I am a mohel or as it issometimes called a moel.”

“What is a mohel?” I asked.

“A mohel is a doctor or a rabbi who performs circumcisions,” hetold me. “That’s what I do. I am a rabbi and I perform circumcisionsfor the Jewish community.”

“Then why do you have all of these clocks and watches in yourwindow?” I asked.

“Well, then,” he said. “Exactly what do you think I should have inmy window?”
