Busy Day

Having my first coffee this morning and reading updated info about the musical line up for Savor San Pedro food Festival. I’m a bit slow this morning, I woke up at about 6:50. Good thing I don’t have far to go to work.

10:29 AM
Internet is just a mess this morning. It’s making it very difficult to get things done as easily as they should be. I think mercury must be in retrograde or something, cause everything feels jammed up. Been chatting with Jo who was texting from Miami airport. They are on the second leg of their trip and will be landing in Belize city around 2:20 PM. It’s like pulling teeth trying to figure out where to meet up with them later. I’m in a work day, so it’s been a bit hard trying to figure out the rough timing of things, since we have their golf cart.

Break time, before I go crazy.

3:10 PM
Picked up the cart, went and grabbed video Paul, then headed to town to do some errands. Saw lots of people , everyone out enjoying the sun. No word from Erin and Jo yet. Pictures are finally going up, my upload window kept saying they were up when they weren’t.

 

4:24 PM
Hanging out with Video Paul on the balcony. It’s a gorgeous day; hot, sunny and simply perfect. The bright side of the internet acting up, is it’s made me walk away from LT and go enjoy the day.

Got the call – they are at Pedro’s. Video Paul is going to pick them up. Talk about excitement, 2 girls escaped from Canadian winter and landed in San Pedro on a hot sunny afternoon.

    Peter it can be a bit cheaper at some stores but still expensive by comparison. Nuts and cereal are good things to bring down that can be costly here.

    Peanut butter can’t really be that expensive? Can it?
    I’ll have to bring some down with us in a couple of weeks. It’s a staple in our diet.
