Fun friends and fab food at Wild Mango's

Today after loading up on fruits and veggies at two fruit stands, we met a group of friends at Wild Mango's for lunch.  Shelby, who lives in Maya Beach, is visiting San Pedro this week; so we were looking forward to meeting her. Bill and Debra, who live here in San Pedro and write the Taking Belize blog; and Jana and CJ, who are here for a month from Texas, also joined in the fun.  

Barry and I finished our errands a little early so were able to take a few photos before others arrived.  It was spitting rain off and on and dreary the entire time we were out and about, but never got too bad.

Always a tough decision
Barry started with a tropical fruit smoothie, while I went with the island favorite, Panty Ripper (pineapple juice & coconut rum).

Next to arrive were Jana and CJ, who have been thoroughly enjoying their time here on the island.

Somehow I missed getting a photo of Shelby until the full-table shots, but there's just a bit of her in this photo of Debra and Bill.

Shelby had heard that it was National Pina Colada Day so decided to celebrate with one.  Great plan!  It looked amazing.

And look who else was in the house, much to my surprise (since I'd warned her there'd be two other bloggers at Mango's today)!

Scooping, or just having lunch? Only time will tell...
Everyone's food looked delish!  My Tacos al Pastor (with pork and pineapple) sure hit the spot.  Yum!

I think it goes without saying that we all left with full bellies and smiles on our faces.  Rain was still spitting as Barry and I rode off on our bikes.  We ended up following CJ and Jana in their golf cart for a bit after we stopped in at Greenhouse for a few groceries before heading home.

On the way home I finally remembered to snap a photo of "The Hotel" just a bit north of the bridge, next to Legend's.  There have been barricades across the entrance for a few weeks now, so I guess they had to close down during slow season.  Too bad, as they had barely just opened, and work had been going on there so diligently for quite some time.  The restaurants had opened for awhile in early spring, but they never seemed very crowded.  Hope they'll be able to make a go of it during next high tourist season.  Anyone got the scoop?

Finally, the Hotel opened. I hope it works out also! My husband David is down there this week and is going to try and find you too to introduce himself. We "live" at Oceanaire--just next door.

It opened, only to close. Hopefully not for good, though. Hope to meet David while he is here!

Loretta, I was going to email you, but you didn't include an email with your comment. I'm sorry we didn't get up with David while he was here. He stopped by, but we were on our way to town, and we had plans for the entire weekend (for once!) so there just wasn't time. Hope we'll meet you two on your next trip down!

    Emily & Barry

    We're an adventurous couple, married 27 years, who decided to move to Ambergris Caye, Belize from Chapel Hill, North Carolina for retirement.  We built a condo on the beach  north of San Pedro Town and moved in with our Boston Terrier Paisley in August 2011 and lived there until March 2013.  Ultimately, we decided to return to the US, but we have no regrets and MANY good memories of our time in Belize.  We hope our blog might prove helpful to anyone interested in this lovely country.
