The city is still working on replacing the cobble stones on Coconut drive and the dirt road detour is still in effect. As a result we are still kicking up major dust and I am sure many of us would not mind some rain to clean things up a bit. The good news the Town Board opened up one of the roads further so now we have 2 options instead of one. When you turn left at the alley beside the orange store instead ...

If you remember Paul's birthday blog from last year Caye Chapel Golf taking a Mulligan, And we set off like a herd of turtles on our way for our  Caye Chapel golf day. We were doing ok then all of a sudden the waves got worse and the people at the back of the boat started getting a salt water bath, so we turned around and back to San Pedro. We all agreed to take a mulligan and that we would have an even bet ...

What a busy day, it started with a sunrise drive with Dick at 5:00am and then we split up for a couple of hours and regrouped for an errand run to town.  While there we hit 3 banks paid a parking ticket checked 4 stores for a camera to computer chord and stopped off at BEL to make sure they knew about the power pole that had been run across from the Belize Medical School. It is hazardous looking especially ...

Yesterday Anthony Philip and I went on Reef Radio and TV's morning show with David Marin to talk about what the San Pedro Branch of the Belize Red Cross has been doing and give updates on the First Aid Program. One of the exciting things SPBRC has been working on is to get an emergency warning siren system for the island. We recognize a need to be able to reach a large portion of the community in a short am ...

Last night the Midtown Violets [Karen Waldrup and Ashlee K Thomas]  were continuing their Spring in the South Tour and played at Pedro's Hotel. Tacoboy was helping them get ready for the show that morning and they said the one thing they needed was microphone stands, so he set out to make that happen. It is not uncommon for people here to shop by phone, send the money to Belize City or put it in the busines ...

Miriam's Magical first trip to Belize by Miriam Neuman Okay,  here it is: In late November, I decided that it was high time I visited my good friend Henry in San Pedro, Belize.  He had been there for 6 years and I still hadn't managed to find the money or time to fly down from the freezer that they affectionately call Winterpeg (Winnipeg, Canada).  I picked a great time to go because this would prove to be ...

Most you have already heard the  buzz by now but in case you haven't.... Ambergris Caye was named Top Island in the Travelers Choice Awards 2013. It's no surprise why Ambergris Caye rose to the top on the world's 10 best Islands list on Trip Advisor.
