Travelers know that the fastest way to the heart of a destination is through the stomach, and that one good meal, even one tiny bite of a fresh new dish, can set the tone for many culinary adventures to come. After arriving in Belize City and transferring to the Maya Island Airport, I found myself with a bit of time to kill and a hankering for some local grub; we have driven past dozens of street carts, pop-ups and hole-in-the-wall restaurants on our drive across the city, and I was ready for a taste of this new destination. Admiral’s Restaurant at the tiny airstrip served up one of the freshest bowls of ceviche I’ve had in my life (made with conch and prawns) crab meat nachos, and perfectly chilled Belikin Beer. A lovely way to kickstart adventures in Belize. Photo Finish: Nikon D800 | 24-70mm f/2.8 lens | Aperture f/5.6 | ISO-1000 | Shutter 1/400 sec.
