OOPPSS! Van Rams Distributors' Tractor

The accident took place about 30 mins ago. This one, not a taxi driver but a delivery man, got too close to one of San Pedro Distributors' delivery tractors and got a face lift. More like a nasty dent. OOPPSS!

The Seaplane is Back!

The seaplane is back! Remember back in July when the large seaplane caused a commotion as it landed in the back lagoon? Well pilot Robert and businessman Italo are back on the island with a similar seaplane. The air/water craft stopped at the Lagoon Side Texaco Gas Station once again to fill up on gas which takes up about 500 gallons of diesel and brings their bill to almost $6,000Bze! The flight crew flew in from the United States and is on the way to Peru, South America. They plan to say in San Pedro for the night and leave early tomorrow morning.
