I’m trying to think back to my statistics classes…and I can remember nothing. 83 votes is all I got and I’m guessing that is not statistcally significant…but here is what I found out. You had 5 choices: Fido’s (the biggest and, with tourists, most popular bar in town), BCs (one of the last standing oldKeep reading »
The Full Blown Storm Has Arrived
Ok. That sounds dramatic but it’s midnight here in San Pedro. Wind, rain, lots of thunder and lightening. For everyone that has been waiting for rain…it’s here! And thanks for getting me to 5000 views.
Mosquito Coils…If I should die before I wake…
As I lie here on my bed in a mosquito coil haze I can only help but wonder: Can you really trust a product that can’t pay enough to use spelling/grammar check on its labels?Sure I can…or at least that is what I tell myself as I fall into a semi-toxic yet mosquito-free haze. This is notKeep reading »

I know…too easy. But this sweet heart has been coming into Tacklebox Bar since she was the size of a peanut. I think she is part pitbull. And she goes CRAZY every time she sees me.

New Column: Meet One of My Favorite Harmouchs
The Lebanese are a huge part of life in San Pedro (and probably Belize). In fact, many (most?) supermarkets and hardware stores are owned by Lebanese expats (and most are now Belizean citizens).

Two All Beef Patties, Special Sauce, Lettuce Cheese…in Belize!
I promised to tell the truth in my food reviews so here is the cold hard truth. Brace yourselves. I walked into Roadkill Bar this afternoon after hearing lots about Wade the Gringo’s burgers.

Pedro’s Has the Biggest Party of 2011 Lobsterfest so far
I arrived at Pedro’s Lobsterfest party at about 7pm and luckily a seat had been saved cuz the place was pretty packed. The poker game was in full swing and all the tables outside were filled with lots of families. It was $25bzd for all you can eat pizza and rum punch. A big blackKeep reading »
One Of the Hardest Working Guys in San Pedro: Anthony

I asked about Anthony and found that he is doing well…retired and relaxing after many years hard work. Hooray! I commute to town each day from down south. And every single day, 7 days a week,Keep reading »
