Dinner and a movie at El Divino

As always you never know who will show at an event, we ended up with a lively table of 11 people and enjoyed a nice dinner together last Wednesday night and some very funny and all over the map conversations. We talked about everything from Boa Constrictors reptiles and giant bugs to what brought people to Belize and how they made their move.

When it came time to set up the movie AV girl Mary had brought her DVD player and we found out that the plug would not work. We thought it was European but later found out it is just a strange plug that goes directly into a matching TV. My quick plan b was call Tacoboy to see if he could  bring ours down. He paused sports, got up off the couch, delivered our DVD player within in 15 minutes and earned some brownie points 🙂

The final movie decision thanks to Cindy and Andy’s recommendation was he movie Hysteria. A mischievously inspired romantic comedy set at the end of the 19th century, the film depicting the invention of the vibrator. We all gave it two thumbs up and lots of laughs, it was the perfect movie choice.

Let me back track a bit. We had planned an overnight getaway off the island but due to the rain we were having, Mary and I decided if we are going to be rained in a hotel room why not overnight somewhere that made more sense. So we picked Banana Beach and decided to make a last minute party of it and do Dinner and a movie at El Divino. It also came in handy to stay there as we were both able to schedule daytime meetings at the restaurant.

When our work was done we were very ready for lunch, I had a bistro burger and fries and Mary had ceviche. We were hoping to get a bit more down time before before dinner but time got away from us and before we knew it, it was time to head back  to El Divino and meet everyone you saw in the pictures above.

After the movie,  we were waiting with  Beth for her cab to show up, Mary and I decided to play around with our cameras and practice a few night time shots I also got sunrise and she took the daytime pool pic after we had breakfast and on the way to our mid morning  nap. We both agreed that was one of the most relaxing naps ever. We were out like lights for 2h and both could have kept right on sleeping. Sadly our mini vacation had come to an end it was time to check out and head back home.

I am sure they might have Mystery but they came for dinner part of the night only.

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
