Here I am deleting old emails again - seems like only yesterday I had my in-box cleared and was determined to upkeep it on a regular basis - ya right 10 pages later and I have already deleted a bunch. I missed Tai Chi (again) trade off is that I am getting some work done at home. Still taking that mms supplement Zac recommended - not noticed huge changes so much as small ones that my body is regulating itself and getting some benefits. Went to women and wine last night hosted Diane it was nice hanging out by the pool at Julia Gardens - great mix of girls to chat with. I found out she does mail forwarding now in addition to providing people with a p.o. box number and all her other services. I will to go check out her mail boxes across from Royal Palms at the internet place and take a pic or 2. Lot beside Coral Beach H0tel Above Caye Supply on back street Road south making progress

While on a boat ride last week I happened to notice how far Grand Caribe is coming along.

It is just far enough from town to enjoy the relaxed Caribbean way of life with the action of San Pedro only a short distance away. 1 mile north Spectacular view 1/4 mile away from barrier reef

I really had no idea what was in store for us – I just trusted that this is where we needed to be and followed that feeling. I have learned so much and met so many interesting people by moving to San Pedro (in person and online). I chat with a lot of people on the internet (especially since I joined the message board and started my blog). They all have a different spin on why they keep coming back, or want to move here someday and what they get from the San Pedro / Ambergris Caye experience. Here is a piece from Hannah (age 10) who moved here with her mom dad and younger sister and her insight about spending her first Winter on a tropical island. Winters Change by Hannah Some how, it feels like Christmas. It gets dark early and I am usually wearing a sweater. The palm trees are always swaying in the wind there are waves pounding on the reef.

They are well on their way to being set up for the big Sun Dancer / Moon Dancer sale it is 9:33am and already a good sized crowd is waiting to get in. Thankfully I get to avoid the line up on this one. I spoke too soon about line ups as I forgot what check out is like. I made it through my second annual sale in one piece. Found a few shirts for tacoboy and I got a knapsack and some odds and ends. After the sale I had some down time then we headed out to BC's. - got to see Ernie which I was hoping for - chatted with Igamel and Kenmel a bit also CC, Ken, Martha, Jeremy and their gang - 2miles and Tona were there with their friends as well.

Stopped at 2 different spots the last one had a lot more going on. Off to Pedro's now for American thanks giving dinner. Yum.
