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 ...

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 ...

Was up at 5:00am getting ready for the first aid course today. Between packing my kit,  answering emails, sending out lat minute updates, doing laundry, blogging and texting Leisa my  hands were full. I will be so glad to come home and fall into a nice clean bed later on, likely after a a celebration drink on the way home. It is going to be a great day. I am super excited about the sponsorship part of the B ...

It has been a busy past couple of days. My here there and everywhere started Friday morning at 7:00am morning show with Eiden Salazar and Anthony Anderson to announce our new San Pedro Branch board and promote the Red Cross Belize Medical  Safety program. Afterward I was collecting money for Tuesdays certified first aid course and taking pictures for Jessie from BRC. She emailed me and said that she needed ...

Congratulations goes out to Toledo, Stan Creek, Corozal and Orange Walk all have newly elected Branch Boards and San Pedro is looking forward to holding our upcoming election and becoming a vibrant active branch and a  leader of the Belize Red Cross Medical Safety Program. Yesterday Red Cross Director General Lily Bowman  came out to oversee the Elections of the San Pedro Branch Board and guide us through t ...

This morning was fricken freezing, I left the house in jeans, t-shirt, hoodie, shoes and socks and I was still cold enough that my teeth were chattering - no exaggeration.  As I was hitching a ride part way to town with tacoboy who was on his way to work, I was second guessing my decision have left the house and wishing I had crawled back under the covers instead. By the time I got to Wings department store ...

I am sure most of you who live here and a many who are repeat visitors to Ambergris Caye have a 'how rumors get started' story or two. My last one started late last night when tacoboy arrived home from Trivia at Pedro's Pizza and a night with the Bat Sub boys. He came home with  a report that Sunday was supposed to be the record coldest day in San Pedro in a very long time. I thought it was possible because ...

I had the best intentions to finish an post this Tuesday afternoon and ended up on on Belize time and an adventure crawl to North Ambergris Caye which you will see pics and details of below. Wednesday the exciting Tropic Air announcement of  Belize to Cancun flights bumped it and my morning was reserved for spending time with Dennis before he left on the 3pm Thunderbolt water taxi to Corozal. After seeing h ...

It is day 8 of our cleanse and Dennis and I have officially started winding down  and adding a bit more to our diet. We actually started that yesterday by going for foodie happy hour at Aji Restaurant and enjoyed some delicious fish tacos - can't Imagine anything Hugo cooks being bad. They wefe served 3 to a plate with fresh fruit on the side and a great deal for $10 bzd. Today's winding down treat was some ...

When we were walking home from town yesterday I told Dennis I wanted to go to the last roadside fruit stand across from Banyan Bay to get some mini plums on our way home. They have become one of my favorite healthy treats while cleansing - a cheap snack at $2 a bad. When we stopped there I saw some corn on the cob that was still in the husk and looked really good since I had been I had been craving corn rec ...

Dennis and I decided to do a cleanse before his heads to Mexico, we planned it out and figured we could go up to 9 days. My main goal was to eat more alkalizing foods and steer clear of acidic foods. Dennis was a healthier eater to begin with but was up for that challenge, his main goal was to use the cleanse to stop smoking and get back on track from all the unhealthy foods he was eating while here in Beli ...
