Lobsterfest closing party at Cowboy Doug's

6/24/2012

Today I spent most of the afternoon at Cowboy Doug's Bar and Grill here at Grand Caribe attending the "Lobstermania" closing party.  And what a fine party it was!  It was fun to see San Pedro friends and hang out chatting in the bar.  The morning clouds cleared out, and the afternoon got sunny and hot.  There was plenty of good food to go around and good music courtesy of Zac and Tanya.  I enjoyed a few rum drinks, a lobster sausage, and a few hot French fries (thanks Debra and Bill for sharing!)  Barry came by with Paisley during the afternoon to say hi, and her little nose was twitching with all the good food aromas coming from the grill!

I started with a pineapple juice and rum and a lobster sausage -- definitely a different use of lobster!

I was super happy when our good friends Debra and Bill showed up.  They don't make it up our way all that often, so it is always a treat to see them.

Debra and Bill -- love you guys!

Oceana also showed up with a booth, and I joined their organization and bought a cute t-shirt.  It's such a great cause for those who care about the world's oceans and marine life.

It was a great day and a great way to end San Pedro's Lobsterfest 2012.  Thanks, Cowboy Doug, Leisa, Tacogirl, and all the Grand Caribe folks who made this day possible!

Not a chance! We've already had way more than normal rain for May-June here. Need the sun to dry things out!

"Dov had a huge plate of food -- not sure where he puts it!" - That's why I wore cargo shorts... ;P

Looks like everyone had a blast!! Emily, do you have an email where I can ask you and Barry a few questions. My wife, Eileen, and I are in the beginning phase of relocating to Belize or somewhere in your area. Right now it just seems so overwhelming. My email is above or you can use my personal email [email protected] Thanks, Bryan

Hi Bryan! Sorry to take so long to get back to you, but we have been traveling in Hopkins and did not have a laptop with us -- in other words, it was a true vacation. I will send you an email in regards to your questions.

    living in Belize

    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.
