Wet Wednesday

Forecast for Ambergris Caye Weather:  It’s a wet one.

So far we have had about 3 inches rain from Tropical Storm Karl and it does not look like it is stopping anytime soon. TS Karl is hitting north of us and the wunderground tracking map shows it alternating between a tropical storm – tropical depression and category 1 hurricane. Even though it is not directly over us, it is causing a lot of rainy weather in Belize.  I did a quick check of the windows when I woke up and was pleased there was no water around them. Went to go let Molly out and found a big puddle by the front door – the rain was blowing that way and found it’s way in through the space between the door and jam. Of course neither Molly or Basil wanted to go outside.

D Sea – is are having a wine tasting with Premium Wines on Sat. Sept. 18. Wine, Cheese, Fruit, Crackers. Stay after and Lily’s Treasure Chest will serve dinner for anyone who wants it next door at her place or on D Sea veranda – please pass it on. To see who is coming you can check D Sea Facebook invite.

10:am looks like rain is finally letting up a bit.

5:03pm busy day doing behind the scenes work as a result did not blog as much as I had planned. Paul going to pick up sausages on the way home so I can cook us a nice meal. It is cooler now so I will bake them in the oven with veggies on the side.

5:33 switched gears and trying to dig myself out of the hole for sorting and catching up on emails. Need to add a fundraising/volunteer option to my gmail filing system. Been working through details of Alan’s fabulous donation for 10 pairs of rain boots (Size 9=2; Size 10=4, size 11=4. Total of 10 pairs) to the very worthy San Mateo Empowerment project. Letting Kim who is heading the project  know of the donation and how Eric and Vernon helped co-ordinate getting the boots down with Tm Tam and the Word at Work Church in Amarillo Texas. TT is always willing to lend a hand and does such great work here in Belize.

7:56pm cooking dinner was a total flop – it was going really well and then poof the gas tank empty. We never got any warning signs this was coming – usually we can tell by a slight smell that the tank is running low so we get it filled in time.

Basil is doing good Nadia he and Molly are both safe and sound inside right now while the rain falls. What are your skill sets and area of interest in regards to helping?

See if you had your own professional (well I wouldn’t call me a professional, maybe food junkie) cooking your meals running out of LP wouldn’t have happened. On a side note, I sent a CBT happy for you with Rumpshaker as she has arrived on the island.
Stay dry

Stop teasing me I have visions of bacon wrapped meat dancing in my head ha ha – you are a total professional compared to my skill level – what I would not give to have you here. Start playing lotto so you can come down when Chunky and Ruthie are back and celebrate.

Wow you have a lot of rain Harold. The boots we found here at Harmouche Hardware are about $55 Belize. That would be great if your friends are up for helping out – thanks for your efforts.

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.
