Today’s pics are a reminder to me of how much I enjoy being a part of the San Mateo Composting toilet project. Heather – Jo – Maureen – Tracy and I have so much fun driving around town – brainstorming – photo documenting and putting the puzzle pieces in place.  Big shout out to the mission group from United Methodist Church of Johnstown Colorado who came down to help out. You did a fantastic job gathering statistics and mapping out important information in the community.

It is hard for a Canadian socialist to see the squalor of San Mateo juxtaposed with the carefree lives of the rich and shameless on Ambergris.( no offence Laurie). The You Tube video by the 9 year old was rather interesting and well done. I think this place needs more than compost toilets. Roads, drainage, electricity, running water with antibiotics etc. Well gotta start somewhere. Need any help?

Al we need as much help as we can get for the project – everyone deserves a proper safe toilet. Any area in particular you are thinking of in regards to helping?

Wow, sounds fun TG! Wish I could be there for San Pedro’s fest, but alas, we have plans. Will be going to Placencia’s though, so at least I’ll get one lobsterfest under my belt this year! Thanks for the great review…

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

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.
