After eating, I started walking around and heard a man yelling at me from a second floor window. It was The Bar Owner yelling: "Hey, you should support local businesses! Come into my bar! You'll have a good time!" So I walked up the stairs and was greeted by the Bar Owner who was also singing karaoke, very loudly, and very badly. He asked me where I was from and I told him Texas. He said "Texas! I know Texas!" and in mid song changed the song to country music. I asked if he would take a photo with Captain America, and he said that he absolutely would, he loves America! I ordered a Belikin beer (a beer made in Belize that has signs EVERYWHERE) and we chatted a while. He then said "Free Beers" and brought me another beer. At this point two other bar customers came over and joined the conversation while another customer sat at the bar and just stared at me with a drunk smile and kept waving at me awkwardly (if you look in the photo, he is the one in the light blue shirt with the grey hair). The Bar Owner wondered off to fiddle with the karaoke machine and then started singing a terrible rendition of whatever country song he was singing, which at this point was playing on full volume. One of the bar customers starting showing photos of his wife and kids and the other told me that the free beers were a lie...the bar owner never gives out free beers. I decided that it was time to go to the bathroom and leave. The bathrooms in Belize charge $1BZ to use (fifty cents American), and that was written on the door. I went to the bathroom, one of the worst I've been in, and came out to pay the tab. The bar tender (not the owner) said it was going to be $16BZ, but I only had $13BZ in cash, so I said I'll have to use my credit card. At that point, the owner came over and said: "No, no, we'll just take the cash, no need to run the credit card! American's like getting tips, no? My bar is giving YOU a tip!" I left the bar very amused, kind of feeling like I dodged a bullet because the whole set up and scene was shady AF, but I had another story and photo!

I was out of cash, but wasn't ready to call it a night yet. A lot of places are cash only, so I went back to my room to get more cash out of the safe. On the way out, I noticed the Security Worker. He was sitting on a chair and doing things on his phone. When I came by, he said "Hi, are you having a good night?" I said yes, and that I was seeing if folks wanted to take photos with Captain America. He asked what is Captain America, and I showed him and tried to explain the Marvel story to him. He laughed and said that he would take a photo.

It had been a long and fun night, and it was time for some late night food. Luckily, I knew where there was a street taco truck that was open from 5 PM to midnight! I got 3 tacos that were so good for $10BZ. While the mother was preparing my tacos, the daughter told me that she goes to college during the day at the local island college and works with her mother at night. As the food was being cooked, I asked if they would be willing to pose with Captain America. The daughter said that they both would like to pose and that she thought the whole idea was really funny. It was 11:30 PM. The daughter said they were getting ready for the rush, apparently their busiest time is 5 minutes to midnight, because pretty much the entire island closes at midnight, they are normally the last place open for folks that get hungry at night.

That was the end of the day for me and the end of the adventures of Captain America in San Pedro.
