San Pedro Lobsterfest 2012 Dates Announced

by tacogirl 05/01/2012
written by tacogirl 05/01/2012
2012 San Pedro Lobsterfest

My San Pedro Belize weather report – as of last night I have progressed to wearing my Old Navy polar fleece toque to sleep. I felt like a burrito with my hat on all wrapped up in bed and had major layering going on – 2 sheets, 1 duvet cover, 1 sarong, and 2 airline blankets.  Thankfully the wind has died down this morning and while it is still very cool in our second-story apartment when the fluffy white clouds are not covering the sun is nice and toasty.

I had the opportunity to go outside and warm up a bit while doing a photoshoot in our backyard, I needed a blow-up lobster picture for my front page. I would have used the image I shot for Giant Lobster found in the pool at  Grand Caribe Resort but it was a close-up and not wide-angle and I did not want to use a repeat from San Pedro Lobsterfest Block Party 2011.  It was a fun morning in the office 🙂

Now you can start planning your summer in Belize – the organizing committee of San Pedro Lobsterfest is pleased to announce the official dates of the 2012 San Pedro Lobsterfest. Festivities will begin on Friday, June 15th, 2012, and culminate with the traditional Lobsterfest Block Party on Saturday, June 23rd, 2012. With 9 days of celebrations of all things Lobster, the 2012 San Pedro Lobsterfest is the longest and largest Lobsterfest yet! Stay tuned for more announcements of specific events and locations leading up to June.

Ah, to need to gain 10 lbs, that would be great fun, especially with all the fattening food choices here. Yum.

The downside of that Emily is getting the weight go where I want it and not where I don’t 🙂

Don’t think I haven’t made those things (not the cake). I make my own Hollandaise and Alfredo sauce. Cooking is my hobby. I even took a class on the omellette. Its an art you know.Women do not generally go near my kitchens although my skills there have never left me lonely:)

That does not sound appealing cinnamon on grapefruit, goes better with sugar on toast lol. You coming to cook Al, if so double bacon please.

I’ve noticed a lot more lately, that people who allow too much blood in their alcohol stream, often are affected by small changes in temperature. Most important though, is a good substantial breakfast. You can starve yourself until dinner in the evening, then have a good bottle of red or white wine with the meal. Maybe two bottles, if it is good wine!!!!!!
Works for me.
By the way, Maureen, we are two separate Ai’s, but the other Al is “mein Doppleganger.” from Mexico.

No my friend it is a 30 pesos taxi ride from the wharf. 20 if u go to la Botana about 1 mile down from there. Just don’t take the airport cabs just the regular city ones, but u should know that i hope. Eat well and live.

Thanks Al, that is now on my list of things to blog. I like that – Eat well and Live

Well maybe you should have your thyroid levels checked. And you definitely need more fat tissue; no insulation. I thought we agreed you were going to Mexico for Arrachera?
The dining room at the Holiday Inn on ave Heroes does it well. Stay overnite and pig out on the buffet breakfast.

I think I did thyroid in Sept with my check up, would have to double check my notes. Looking to gain 10 lbs or so.Do you know how far that is from Muelle Fiscal Al, is it walkable?

Reply
Emily 05/01/2012 - 2:11 pm

Laurie, you need to put some more meat on your bones, girl! I slept in long cotton pjs, cotton socks, and a sheet and was perfectly comfortable. Of course, I guess I shouldn’t talk as this is my first “winter’ in Belize. Perhaps in a few years I’ll be as cold-sensitive as you are. If so, I’ll need to do some serious shopping!

Reply
tacogirl 05/01/2012 - 2:22 pm

I remember swimming in the Sea in January when we came here on vacation, our Canadian friends were laughing and saying it was way to cold for them and jokingly stated calling us Nordic type people. The older I got the more cold sensitive I noticed myself becoming, even in summer in Canada I used to have to pack warm clothing to go watch a movie 🙂

Maureen 05/01/2012 - 1:28 pm

I think I am going to bring you a comforter in one of those airtight bags (for storage) so you can have a warm comfy sleep! LOL I can just see you now. Was Paul not being a good bed warmer for you?

tacogirl 05/01/2012 - 2:06 pm

Lol Maureen, we do have a comforter and a velux blanket. Not so much last night, he fell asleep watching tv on the couch.

Laurie this is very tragic. As you may recall I used to live/work in the arctic. On a clear ,still sunny, -25c day in May I went for walk on the sea ice near Spence Bay, NT wearing jeans, a sweatshirt, and a Toronto Maple Leaf toque. I kept my beer cold in a snow bank and had a picnic with 2 Inuit friends. They should revoke your Canadian citizenship.:)

We have been using TacoGirl for what feels like decades when planning our trips to Belize! It has only been a few... years but she is the first place we stop to see what is happening in our favorite vacation spot. She knows all the best spots to get away and do so many fun things - whether it is relaxing or exploring! We are planning our next trip with our twins and she was the first person I reached out to. Knowing we have a resource like her, makes trip planning a breeze!read more

It was my first time visiting Belize and San Pedro so naturally I had a ton of questions when it came time to planning... the travel. Taco Gril's blog was an invaluable source of information for all the travel questions in Ambergris Caye. I was able to learn a lot of basic information, as well as many tips and tricks. In addition when I reached out to Taco Girl for advice on finding a local photographer and a restaurant recommendation, she was very quick to respond and gave me many helpful suggestions. She also provided a lot more information from a local's point of view, which was much for valuable than than a typical guidebook. Thanks to her helpful suggestions we were able to celebrate my daughter's birthday at a nice restaurant, and had a great photo family session with a local photographer. I'm very thankful for all her resources and knowledge.read more

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

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.

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

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. If you have any questions or want Belize help planning and booking, please feel free to contact me.

SPARKING MY DESIRE

A few childhood memories that shaped my desire to move to Belize from a young age. Sailing in the Virgin Islands, seeing a rainbow out the window of an island hopper as we flew from Virgin Islands to Puerto Rico, Christmas in Hawaii and many trips to Florida.
