SAGA Assists in the Enforcement of Laws for Stray and Nuisance Dogs Every year rumours of a dog ‘eradication’ fly around San Pedro. Pet owners, conservationists, locals, immigrants and tourists all get very upset that dogs may be poisoned and letters are written to the Town Board and local newspapers asking for an alternative solution. The good news is that SAGA Humane Society and the San Pedro Town Board h ...

Tim and Tina's annual thanks giving party was great as always, I am glad we made it early to enjoy the sunset. Managed to fill my plate just enough so that I was pleasantly full but not so much that I needed to walk it off ha ha.  I scored well at the gift game too and ended up with a box trivia cards all about the sea. How did all of you spend your American Thanks Giving? [gallery link="file" orderby="titl ...

I am still in rest mode but feeling much better so I decided a second blog was in order today. Working towards clearing out my 'to blog' folder in gmail -  it is growing too fast. This next piece below comes from a very talented yoga aficionado Ashanti Airbender Garcia. Some of you will remember her from the post I did on Belize News Exchange Magazine - she was the featured Living Fit article for their one ...

I am being a bad girl and bribing myself with a coffee this morning - trying quit while I am still sick. Being extra cautious as Cindy's cold lasted 3 weeks and ended up to the point where she had to start doctors visits and medication in order to kick it - I do not want to go that far. I will leave you with a brief update from Forrest regarding the National Championship Regatta story & results and thei ...

Love T.V. Visits the San Pedro Youth Sailing Program Last Sunday, Maria Novelo from Love Television visited the San Pedro Sailing Club's Youth Training Program during preparations for this Saturday's National Championship Regatta. Here is her superb video and commentary, which aired yesterday.  (Regrettably, the club's Press Officer's remarks aren't quite as polished as Maria's; he needs to lose the "ums"  ...

We  were almost ready to go to the pimp N Ho party when  wind just kicked up and it started throwing down with rain I waited it out with Van Morrison, Paul watched Poker. Paul called Cindy and said we should make a break for it when the rain stopped, we got as far as Banyan Bay and took cover  - Good thing sexy pirates are waterproof. Tropical living tip - if you think it is going to rain or you are going o ...

Here are some good sites to check for updates on Hurricane Rina: Wunderground NOAA Storm Pulse My Fox Hurricane It is going to be a busy Hallowen weekend in ...

Paul decided we should go for a long walk yesterday since the sun came out and Hurricane Rina was not making us housebound. Paula, Jessie faye and Dick were heading to town so we decided to join them. I have a ton of pics to sort through so I will be adding more throughout the day. Hoping to go to class today but I have a feeling the pool will be closed. Quite a few businesses around town were closed yester ...

I never did make it to the beach yesterday, soon as I got to Dick's place to pick him up for a walk it started to rain so we hung out there instead. It is very chilly this morning, enough to be wearing a jacket in the house, I can see how a fireplace could be very handy here at this time of year. I opted for stretching at home and extra hot shower over the pool this morning. I am still working on the piece ...
