A while back I decided to quietly make a top ten best texts from Carbunkle Trumpet in Memphis. Those who know him know what a funny sense of humor he has and his texts often have me lol for real. Carbunkle is not a Top Ten virgin and has submitted 3 other  tacogirl Top Ten lists on San Pedro and Belize. Top Ten things I miss from back in the day - Carbunkle Trumpet has been coming here since 1979. Top 10 ne ...

The weather keeps changing it's mind this morning woke up to rain at 6am - that did not last long and the sun came out. We got up around 7:30 and it started raining again for a short bit now it is a mix of sun clouds and wind - I am sure more rain is not far behind. This mornings wunderground tropical storm tracking map is showing tropical storm Matthew passing by us today instead of tomorrow - amazing how ...

Many people tend to find September a hard month on Ambergris Caye. It is low season and typically some tend to reach the end of their rope so to speak and often develop a short fuse or get a bit stir crazy. For Paul and I right now we both agree the feeling is a bit lack luster. He was wondering if it was not the low pressure in the atmosphere due to the oncoming storm that was affecting people - we are not ...

This morning Paul - Molly and I had quite an adventure. We borrowed one of Pedro's carts and headed north to Maureen's aquafit class - it was a nice change to do class in a new spot. Molly kept wanting to join us so Paul had to help keep her busy. After class Paul was still working with Kirsten so Molly and I hit the beach for some lounging and coconut chasing. On our way home Milio asked to catch a ride wi ...

Belize's Independence Day is September 21 - and the country celebrates big time with red white and blue decorations - street parades - music - dancing and food. Today's independence day marks Belize's 29th Birthday - Happy Birthday Belize. Funny to think that I am older than the country I live in. I have gone to the parade every year since moving here and as much as I totally love it - I decided to sit this ...

I never liked canned spam and I feel about the same for email and blog comment spam which is unfortunately on the rise lately. I keep getting the same spam comments on a particular post and it starts out like this.... Why have you taken out my post? It was very beneficial information and i guarantee at least 1 person found it helpful unlike the rest of the comments on this web site. As if that is supposed t ...

As we walked up the beach toward D Sea- Carole J and I could not believe how packed it was. Paul estimated about 150 - 200 people passed through the wine tasting last night - that is huge especially for this time of year. It was nice to do something different on the beach for a Saturday night. We had a very quiet Sunday - heading to town now to get some tacos. ...

I am so pleased - Harold saw yesterdays post about Alan's rain boot donation and he left comment about how he going to ask his friends for donations so that the San Mateo Empowerment project can get more rain boots for the crew - how cool is that. With 40 workers - to much water in the area and a lot of heavy lifting - having the right tools is very important. I also have a status update from Eric - The res ...

So far we have had about 3 inches rain from Tropical Storm Karl and it does not look like it is stopping anytime soon. TS Karl is hitting north of us and the wunderground tracking map shows it alternating between a tropical storm - tropical depression and category 1 hurricane. I did a quick check of the windows when I woke up and was pleased there was no water around them. Went to go let Molly out and found ...

I thought it would be nice to take the dogs south today so when the morning rain finished - we picked up Dick and Carole gassed up and headed south for a bit. Due to the night time downpour we did not think we would get very far but surprisingly the roads were really good and not too many huge puddles. We stopped near Las Brisas [which is an up and coming development of houses on the beach] for a picnic and ...

Paul had me set up a haircut for him with Carole this morning and Molly and I decided to tag a long and enjoy visit. They have all gone off to Cindy's for a swim. I opted to stay here as the sun is pretty bright and hot right now - 30c today according to my weather icon. I am enjoying having the apartment to myself - air con - doing some cleaning and listening to talk Open Lines & Scotland's Paranormal ...

Happy St Georges Caye Day everyone. It is a hot sunny one and the puddles are bigger than I expected from last nights rain. Went to Aquafit class this morning - I was not overly motivated to go but glad I did. There was lots of carrying on and general mischief in the pool today making it extra fun. A few things that are coming up... The next Poker Run on Saturday the 11th September. The last one was a ball. ...
