Free shrimp cocktail

by tacogirl 10/07/2009
written by tacogirl 10/07/2009

As usual time is moving too fast this morning. I did manage to get a lot done before class and already have my suit on and ready to go – need to leave a few minutes early as I have to stop at my mailbox and get a slip so I can go to post office get my package. Thanks for letting me know I had mail Dianne as promised I am getting it sooner than later ha ha.

Just got word from Tammy and definitly making a stop there later. She said today at Hummingbird – if you come in for lunch between 11:00 and noon or between 1:00 and 3:00. You will receive a “fresh never frozen” shrimp cocktail for free – only “while supplies last”. It is a 10.00 value and she wants everyone to try these delicious BAL shrimp cocktails – available daily as well as several restaurants and bars in town and up North.

Shared a chicken cesar salad and caught up with Keli at Hummingbird – had not seen her since she got back so was nice to chat. Her golf cart still awol in case anyone sees a black cart with I Do Belize Weddings on it

Afterward I went to go get my mail and almost choked at the customs price – $80 bzd to pick up some skincare stuff that I got accepted to product test. Apparently lotions are subject to higher duty.

Going to Lime for the Lasagna / pasta cook off tonight – Carole and Mario are entering so is Maureen.

Imagine sampling 13 delicious kinds of lasagna at one time – Garfield’s fantasy. Even though the cut the pieces fairly small they could have been halved again. By number six I was starting to feel on the full side but I managed to get through all 13 going for smaller peaces near the end so I could give a fair vote. I picked #1 which as it happens turned out to be the winning one belonging to Jock – Sunset Grill came in second with a delicious seafood lasagna and Mario and Carole took 3rd. Everyone did a fantastic job and the garlic bread was delicious.

I sure hope Lime doesn’t run out of cook-off before we get back!! This one was tough to miss out on.

Ruthie – we will make sure between Pedro’s and Lime that there are more cook-offs when you return. Say hi to Chunky.

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.
