THE ZEPHYR APRIL 1990 attitude of Belizeans, and the resentment they feel towards American wealth. And he certainly had a point, like John Valz (who I later learned celebrates his 30th birthday every day) before him, It must be rough to see us flashing wads of cash while the men and women who live here struggle at times to survive, even If they're struggling In a tropical paradise. Suddenly, Chriss eyes shifted behind me and he asked If I wished I had a good woman. Well, of course, I sighed. Who wouldnt want to share all this Incredible beauty with the woman of a man's dreams? I was about to expound on my notions of love, romance, Glenn Miller and "Serenade In Blue when Chris stopped me In "What are you Jabbering about, Mawn? Here. I want you to meet my friend. She's a good woman." I turned around and discovered a young Salvadoran girl sitting behind me. She was smiling sweetly, and nodding to Chris as he spoke to her In Spanish. Chris was on one side, she on the other ... I felt uncomfortable. She had gold teeth. Then my new friend Marla placed her hand on my knee (or near there) and said In broken English, "Smooth leg. You shave? I looked down at her hand -- - purple finger nail polish. "Do I what? I asked. "Do I shave my legs? Well no. Of course, not, I guess my Levis Just rub the hair off right there ...

And In my Will, Ive left my old Volvo to another hairy-legg- ed woman provided that she shaves her legs for two years. My attorney Is supposed to make spot checks. Of course, you understand, I dont really have anything against hairy legs. Its Just a little quirk of mine. I smiled. She smiled. "Nice legs, she said. "You shave? "Hey look, Mawn, Chris Interrupted. "I don't know what youre talking about Look, we go to my place, listen to some good reggae, drink some good Belizean rum, then you can take her to your room. Give me ten bucks. "What? Walt a minute. Ten bucks? For what? "Hey, Mawn, for cigarettes. For rum. For Maria. We have a good time. It was time for this buckaroo to hit the road. Maria was not the girl I wanted to take home to Ma and Pa. Maybe It was the purple finger nails. But Just to be sura I wasnt blowing the chance of a lifetime, I asked Marla the big question.... "Have you ever heard of Glenn Millers 'Serenade In Blue?

"Welcome to Belize, he said. "I will take care of you. Do you like our country? "I love your country, but the only problem Is, I lied, "I lost my wallet between here and the airport and Im flat broke. I dont know what to do.... Could you lend me ten bucks? David shifted uneasily. "That's too bad, but I have to go now. I see you later. He turned quickly and headed back toward the Swing Bridge.
