As I sit here in the"international terminal" in Belize City's Philip Goldson airport, I'm at a loss for words at the humanity in front of me. White people, Asians, black people, everything in between. Fatties snarfing hotdogs, twiggy chicks, and muscle bound goons staring each other down. Old folks and new borns. Scantily clad teenagers of both genders as well as some of the most agregious body ink I've ever seen. One lady in the security line simply had "Gronk" inked on the back of her neck. I am not in the know.
Another lady--very clearly shit whipped from a morning blackout session-- just had what appears to be a heat stroke on the tarmac. A man in a No Fear T-shirt with the sleeves ripped off (read: not cut) ran to her aide, only to trip on his flip flop and stack into the pavement right next to her. Across from me is a prototypical Bozeman family: Dad wearing Simms shirt and Galatin Bro hat; mom has the Lulu pants over her spanx, kids in pajamas with Beats headphones on. I saw a very Euro man who just got done filming a Devo video eating raw radishes outside the bathroom. There is no law nor order here.
Off to the left is an older gentleman dressed like an early 20th century aviator, complete with leather jacket and hat, as well as a scarf. It's 83F. Perhaps some of the Tuskegee Airmen are still with us? If not, hell of a Halloween costume.
Upon arrival, my 8yo daughter and I got caught in a crossfire between two battleworn lesbians screaming at each other about someone named Dezi and her "fucking beads" in heavy Wisconsinese. Theres a French Canadian couple behind me who are quietly talking and simply look terrified. Just saw a roman Catholic priest with a giant, colorful Mexican sombrero in his hand. Oddly, lots of people have hats that say "Truck Stop" but they don't look like the type to regularly peruse a roadhouse. The vibe here is somewhere between Mardi Gras and the airport scene in Argo.
My wife and I tried to remember some other Star Wars Bars we've been to. Certainly European train stations, Tool concerts, a Miami dolphins game, Reno and maybe a Walmart in St. Louis while traveling for work.
I recommend this to everyone.
