If ever you find yourself on Ambergris Caye, look out for the open slots at Melody’s paint parties. No need to have the talent of Picasso, in fact I don’t know how Melody does it but with her simple steps and a bit of instruction, she somehow brings out the inner artist in everyone.

About the Author: Tamara Sniffin

I’m a sucker for a fuzzy face, a feathered face, a face with fins or even one with scales! I am in love with the creatures and the flora that are synonymous with Belize and every opportunity I have to learn more about them and explore their wild habitats I am there! I’m the happiest when I’m snorkeling the reef and swimming with turtles, however my passion is not just limited to critters! Laced throughout this compact jungle gem of a country live the Kriol, Maya, Garifuna, Mestizo and Spanish people, and experiencing each culture, especially their celebrations is one of my favorite pastimes.
