Who dat?

Many people have lived here all their lives and have seen so many changes over the years. The biggest changes are the many faces of the various people walking down the streets. All of a sudden, we don't know who we pass by on the street at all. So, every week we will introduce you to someone new: a friend, your neighbor, anyone walking down the street. Six questions will be answered, who they are, what they do here, where they come from, when they came and why they chose to live here, and a little extra fun question. Hope you like this fun feature! Who: Francisco Funez
What: Taxi Driver
Where: Belmopan, Cayo
When: Nine years ago
Why: A retired truck driver, Mr. Funez came to the island for a more relaxed atmosphere. Here he started to drive a taxi and soon, he became sole owner of his own vehicle, which he drives around town. He invites you to enjoy a cool, comfortable ride for the same price!

St. George's Caye Day celebrated on La Isla

Belizeans and residents of San Pedro came out en masse for the official coronation of Miss San Pedro, Lizette Vasquez and to commemorate with grand style the battle of St. Georges Caye Day celebrations. After the coronation and a massive school parade around town the crowd gathered at the Caliente beach bash for the official weigh in of the St. Georges Caye Day Family fishing tournament. Here are some highlights...
