Caye Coffee gets a new logo, I tried something new and a PSA from SPHLBPC

Not much was going on around town yesterday afternoon or so I thought. While sitting at Estel’s with Steven, Anthony, Amy and Rick, we heard the long slow sound sound of sirens and knew that a parade was coming. The guy at the next table overheard us talking and said it was the Veterans Day Parade, I excused myself to go take a look and found out that it was something else.

As I walked around the corner I saw hoards of San Pedro High School kids parading by, they had just won a big Volleyball tournament and had good reason to celebrate. Fortunately they finished their parade right before it started raining again and  had enough time to get somewhere dry. Our meeting group on the other hand was not as lucky we were all in process of leaving and everyone got wet.

My something new was I ordered a roast beef sandwich instead of my regular ham and got the suggestion from the Baker to try their multi-grain bun instead of brown bread. My sandwich made me very happy, tasted delicious and I did not have to cook. With all the rain I have not made it to drop off my empty containers to  our chef, thankfully Cindy and Andy were going to trivia tonight at Coco Loco’s and offered to drop them at Claire’s for us.

Caye Coffee a favorite to both locals and tourists for years so many will be pleased to see the building got fresh coat of paint and a nice new logo. Still waiting for the fresh roasting coffee smell in the air 🙂

It’s coming up to that time of year again and I just received a public service announcement from the Public Service Announcement from SPHLBPC better know as the San Pedro Holiday Lighted Boat Parade Committee. Every Year Rebecca Arceo, Amanda Syme, Coqui Alamilla and Jan Brown all work very hard to keep this tradition going and put on a wonderful  event. Please help spread the word to people with boats and spectators, this is one event we need to make sure stays on the calendar.

The San Pedro Holiday Lighted Boat Parade will be held on Saturday December 7th this year.  This traditional event heralds the holiday season and leads us into the holiday spirit with a fun event filled with twinkling lights, children’s laughter, Christmas carols and a spectacular night time boat parade spanning from Wayo’s beach bar to the north and the Caribbean Villas to the south – with amazing viewing spots everywhere in between.

This year promises to be as well attended and enjoyable as each preceding year has been.  We look forward to many regulars participating and invite new entrants to join the fun.

There are prizes in a number of categories for decorated boats including most original and most religious and the Mayor’s choice with the coveted trophy cup.

The block party in Central Park will feature our favorite  charity fundraising booths as well booths with local artists,  and food booths proffering seasonal food and drinks from renowned local restaurants.  Booth rental applications will be available starting on November 18th at the San Pedro Business Association office.

This year all schools are again invited to participate in the Christmas carol recitals, and a prize shall be awarded for the best school choir.  Please submit an application along with the 2 songs the school will be performing to the committee.

DJ Habo shall be our master of ceremonies and will keep the crowd in the holiday spirit while we listen to carols, watch the boat parade go by and of course enjoying the Central Park Block party prize giving ceremony after the parade.

The SPBA San Pedro Holiday Lighted Boat parade committee invites all businesses and individuals in the community to consider donating to the event or offering sponsorship to ensure that this event is successful and that the tradition may live on.  And of course all boat owners and organizations are welcome to enter a boat in the parade and competition.  Please contact the SPBA for more details on how you can be a part of this wonderful event.

If you would like to submit an idea for this year’s commemorative t-shirt please email us before November 20th or drop it off at the SPBA office on front street.

We look forward to seeing everyone enjoying this holiday event and more details shall be published over the upcoming weeks.

Love Taco Girl Blog @LaurieNorton! I've been reading this blog since I started visiting Ambergris Caye in Belize almost... 10 years ago. It is filled with helpful up-to-date information and recommendations that I wouldn't necessarily find on my own. Laurie Norton's knowledge and extensive network on the island provides her with the ability to share perks/discounts/coupons with her readers, which come in handy year after year. Things on the island change daily - new businesses pop up constantly and LaurieNortonstays on top of these developments. Whenever I plan my return trip to the island, I always check her blog first - and I recommend you do the same. Trip Advisor ain't got nuttin' on Taco Girl!read more

Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s... always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. There is so much information it's amazing! Thank you Laurie!!!read more

I’m so pleased to see tacogirl's blog on Google. Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and... local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. I especially enjoy her guest articles, providing a different perspective of all things San Pedro. Her tipping quide is a classic, and don’t forget her Tropic Air flight code and on-island discounts. You’re not up-to-date with what’s going on in San Pedro if you’re not regularly reading tacogirl's blog.read more

Do yourself a favor. Read this BEFORE any trip to San Pedro - Ambergris Caye or Belize in general. Not saying “do... what everyone else says”, but Laurie has frank and honest info which will make your stay in country a little more fun, a little more informative, and often at a great cost savings. Best thing: it’s unbiased, honest, and factual. Personal note: thank you for your personal tailored help in answering mine (and my wife’s) questions.read more

Taco Girl (Laurie) is amazing. She has so much knowledge about Belize and has great connections with many of the... businesses in Belize. Because of her connections she is able to offer many perks and discounts that you wouldn't have been able to find otherwise. She is super responsive and I always go to her for all my travel needs. From golf cart rentals, to spas, to places to eat. She's got the inside scoop on all!read more

ABOUT ME

I took the plunge and moved to San Pedro Town on the Island of Ambergris Caye, off the coast of Belize, Central America. Originally from Canada, I made the life-changing move to escape winter for good (in 2006) after one three week vacation.
