Show some love for Drummer Dan

San Pedro Belize beach pictures

Went to the school today. Boca Del Rio, School and San Mateo and School were not as wet as I expected. Ran into Steve and some volunteers, just coming back from San Mateo, he said the water had gone down quite a bit since yesterday.

When I got home Shuffles popped me asking if I had anything to send to Belizegail in Dangriga. I was rushing around trying to do last minute internet stuff cause of planned power outage, not realizing that town would only be out a few minutes as they were going on generator.

We walked south down the beach to get some pics and stopping at Changes in Latitudes to drop off a bag of stuff and enjoy some delicious home made cookies.

Continued on to Road Kill to meet Paul H who was not there – first person I saw was Drummer Dan – asked how he was doing and he replied not so well. Unfortunately due to Albert all his clothing got soaked and moldy. I told him hang on a sec and I quickly walked back to Changes in Latitudes and they gave me a clean shirt for him. Dan was very grateful after having worn the same sweatshirt for 2 days. I asked him what his size was and mentioned I would post on the blog if anyone wanted to bring him a care package – he asked me to let you all know he was willing to wear anyones company logo and do some free advertising.

If you are coming to town anytime soon and want to help out, Dan wears size XL shirts or t-shirts and 36 shorts. Can’t wait to see what kind of funky shirts people bring to dress Drummer Dan.

Paul H turned out to be across the road at Canucks – he waved us over from the parking lot so we went to join him.

After that we went onto Rico’s at Banyan Bay to meet up with Cindy, Sharon and a few of blog readers that were staying there.

Brat pack at Sharon’s place now – we are having a very silly lobsterfest meeting to further plan our booth. Sharon sends a shout out to Beth – we all wish you were here dancing around the living room with us.

I will leave you with some pictures of Boca Del Rio – the area just north of the bridge and a bit south of town. To see more pictures please visit Holy Cross Belize blog

I am not sure why Drummer Dan was not able to wash his clothing. After hearing his story (he was not at his place where his stuff was and Dennisito went down and found his drums floating in water at 4 am and all his boxes packed to move were soaked), I was not going to volunteer to try and get the mold out using laundry buckets which is our main source of laundry so I just volunteered to blog it for him instead which he was grateful for. We also sent stuff to the mainland.

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
