April 28, 2014 Monday

I started the day with Pilates.  It is probably my favorite thing to do, beside the AM yoga.


1 Peter chapter 3 - Suffering for doing good.  "Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble."  I have to practice these things, they don't come naturally.


On this day:
1987 - On a plane that was returning to Boston, from Miami, Ozzy Osbourne bought three rounds of drinks and sang "Crazy Train" over the PA system. That would be a good flight to be on!
1987 -  After 10 years in this house I had the driveway ripped out and repoured by the guy that did the cement work at the new house next door.  That was before I worked for a crushed concrete company.  I know better now.  There was no base put down first, and in places the concrete was not more then an inch thick.  I believe 4" is the suggested depth for residential concrete.  Make sure you get someone reputable.


Parenting -  Spent the weekend helping Nicole with her sports card project.  Hoping she can clear up some of her college debt.


Book Club - Mornings on Horseback by David McCullough.  Didn't get much reading in this weekend looking forward to a good read.


Yo Chen Belize:  Just a couple more days here and then we move on.  Don't forget some souvenirs.


 

Shopping in Belize and San Pedro

Visitors and locals delight in strolling around San Pedro Town and obtaining souvenirs for their friends and relatives back home. In San Pedro this can be a really rewarding experience and an adventure in itself.
The gift shops carry a wide range of items - local, Belizean, Mexican, Guatemalan and even US products. From the incredible variety of artwork at Belizean Arts in Fido's, to the classical beauty of the jewelry at Emerald Mine, San Pedro Town offers a wealth of unusual and interesting Central American goods.Take a walk down Front Street, the colorful and interesting stores are all a short walk away. No mall action around here, but quiet comfortable shops await you. Among the items available for purchase in San Pedro are art, jewelry, wines and liquors, photography, clothing, edibles, furniture and wood or bamboo products, beauty treatments, food of so many kinds, music, ceramics, paintings, travel guides, coins, Cuban cigars and other tobacco products, and oh so much more... On weekend evenings, the downtown is pedestrian only, making for a delightful evening stroll for shopping with no traffic whatsoever.


Lots of shopping here! 


Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!
