San Pedro Scoop is Being Read in Angola…How Cool is That?

I absolutely love that someone that I’ve never met is referencing my blog on his website.  In Angola.  Yes, Africa!   A continent I’ve never visited.  But am DYING to.This gentleman is a fantastic writer…I mean seriously good stuff.  And he seems like the kind of guy we’d all want to have a few beers with.  He was a British soldier that worked in Belize in the 80s… take a look at these pictures. He’s got more.  Does anyone recognize these guys?

Okay…here is the post where he calls my blog the best in Belize.  I read it twice…okay, maybe 10 times.

Honestly…this blog IS good stuff.  Here he talks about Raul’s Rose Garden back in the day (before it burned down):

My memories of the British soldiers in San Pedro are great ones.  Just a few years ago, they came to the island in numbers to drink and have fun.   After a serious few months of jungle training, they would travel to San Pedro for a few days off.  Often they would undress and climb into the rafters of Fido’s Bar, or call “Naked Bar” or just order a round of “Stuntmen” (sniff the salt, do the tequila shot and squeeze lime in your eye).  We miss them here in Belize.

Here is Naked Bar (for all the pics, you can reference:  Pedro’s Inn…it is not for the faint of heart)

Anyone else have something to share???
