Information is still forthcoming about a traffic accident that took place yesterday, August11, at the Escalante Subdivison. 'You Reporters" for Ambergris Today informed us about the collision between a taxi and a golf cart around mid afternoon. Official information from the Police Department has not made it to our office, but sources at the scene told us that a woman with a baby on hand and another small toddler next to her were on the golf cart as it struck the taxi coming in the opposite direction. Apparently the woman and toddler received minor bumps and bruises, but no serious injuries were apparent. More on this in tomorrow's edition of Ambergris Today Newspaper.

Three local Sanpedranos have submitted one song in the Patriotic Song Competition as part of the September Celebrations 2009 and their entry has made it onto the final seven selections. Barrington Castillo, in collaboration with Natalie Arceo and Stephen Cruz, has submitted the song “Shout Belize” and they are asking for your votes to catapult their song to the number one spot. We just heard the song and it sounds great. You can listen to it online and vote for it by clicking on the link below. Help support our local artists!
The "Azul" singer highlighted the Costa Maya Festival on Saturday, August 8, 2009. Cristian Castro presented a spectacular show that had people singing in the rain. A brief shower pretty much cooled people of as they refused to find shelter midpoint Cristian's performance. The superstar of international caliber sang for close to two hours. More pictures and videos to come.
It was a mob scene much like the Hollywood Paparazzi chasing after Britney Spears, as Cristian Castro made his arrival to the Isla Bonita this afternoon on board the Reef Rocket of Discovery Expeditions. One of the most gigantic crowds, ever, littered the beach in front of Cholo’s Sports Bar as people wanted to get their first glance at the international artist. Cristian’s escorts had the terrible task of attempting to disperse the sea of people in order for Cristian to make it to his golf cart. He was escorted to his hotel room immediately after. Cristian is scheduled to perform at the Costa Maya Festival tonight, August 8.
