Sunny and Very Busy San Pedro Saturday

Yesterday was a fun filled active day. On Friday when I stopped by Catamaran Beach bar, Ruth had told me I needed to come back and try the iced coffee with alcohol in it, so I decided that would make a nice Saturday morning treat before going to the Island Art and Craft art show.

When I got there Leisa was enjoying a glass of wine and had already ordered. As soon as I saw her plate, I told Luis I wanted the same. I had the alcohol version of my favorite iced coffee, since Island Perk included Bailey’s and Kahlua – it was yummy. While we were eating we got to watch a kite surfer practicing. He was really good and we were both amazed at his stamina as he zipped back and forth past us.

The art show for women in need at Xanadu Resort was well worth stopping by, they had so much amazing art work and crafts. I fell in love with Mr Yum Yum and bought some raffle tickets to try and win him for Tinker. The drawings are today and the sale is on until 5 pm, so you still have time to stop and shop for a great cause. They even have delicious beverages to enjoy while you are shopping. After the art show we did the Bird Sanctuary walk, Leisa does not care for heights but managed alright. I had forgotten how much fun it is to go through the big Banyan tree at the end. I’ll do it again soon and take pictures, this time I just wanted to focus on all the beautiful art on the pictures below.

So much great art

More lovely art work and the refreshments for shoppers; iced tea and rum punch.

After the art show, we were walking down the beach to go to meet Cowboy Doug & his crew at Pedro’s and decided to take a pit stop to see Margie at the Seahorse Lounge at Corona Del Mar Hotel. A bit of San Pedro synchronicity, Cowboy Doug, Yancy and Gretchen had changed locations and were sitting at the bar when we arrived 🙂 We enjoyed a drink and some Margie time. More San Pedro synchronicity, tacoboy, who I had texted earlier to update him on what I was doing, turned up at the exact perfect time to give me a lift home – I was not expecting him to finish work so early.

We both had time for a one hour cat nap, and then it was off to Cindy’s for Fred Flinstone style ribs from the Sausage Factory – they were fall off the bone good. Knowing today was a big day we all decided to call it an early night.

Today is the last Sunday at BC’s. It’s going to be fun stopping by to see who is there and share some good memories. Also going on: Yancey de Veer will be playing at Fido’s from 1 pm & onward. We plan to go to both, and I can’t wait to hear Yancey sing, he’s got a great voice.

I had time to show Margie your comment and the pics I had posted of her Mark and she totally remembers you. She said if she remembered right you were with a Dentists group. Any plans for a net trip back here to say hi in person?

That iced coffee sounds great. Love the island art and crafts.

Thank-you!
I am sure she will not remember my name but I got to drum with the Garifuna drummers when they were at coconuts.

Mark I am here at Coconuts right now and I told Margie abut your comments, she remembered your name as soon as I mentioned you had played with the Garifuna drummers.

I’ve been to San Pedro twice, first time with the Mission for Belize dental trip in Oct 2008 staying at the Carribean Villas and second time after a different mission trip in P.G. Both times I had to make back to Coconuts to see Margie. She is the best! If you see soon tell I said Hi even though she probably won’t know who I am without a picture. Also people I consider friends in San Pedro: Bernaby Bedello the jeweler, Javier, Luis, Mr Leopold at Carribean Villas and many others.

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
