Earth Day at The Palms Condominiums

For a third consecutive year the staff of The Palms Condominiums has joined in the Earth Day activities by planting more trees and shrubs at the hotel’s premises. Family members of the staff, in particular the children, joined in the fun of planting more trees and add more life to Mother Earth. Kudos to the staff of The Palms for taking the initiative to give back to Mother Earth on Earth Day, April 22, 2010.

With the job complete, the children were treated with ice cream - Gerry as well.

Pic of the Week

The Leaning Utility Pole - We found the cause of all the power outages in San Pedro. It seems that Gerry knocked over a utility pole at the end of Barrier Reef Drive. NAWWWW!! But residents in the area did call our attention to this post that is dangerously leaning to one side, threatening to pull down power lines it supports. They have reported it to the electricity company; now lets hope they fix it before someone gets hurt.

Belizean Shores Monday Night BBQ

Mondays on La Isla Bonita…Where to go? What to do? Well, if you have not been to Belizean Shores for Monday Night BBQ then you are missing out. This past Monday Ambergris Today was invited to experience this fun night by the resort’s poolside.

The tropical surroundings of Belizean Shores await you for a guaranteed night full of great music and island fun. Monday night BBQ has become so popular that the Upper Deck Bar and Grill is packed with the resort’s guest, but they invite all to come and join in the fun.

At 6p.m. Chef Sherlet Belisle & her assistant chef Andy Medina roll out the BBQ buffet. On the menu there is delicious BBQ Chicken, Butter Garlic Fish Fillet and Pork Ribs with a side of homemade beans and tortilla with coleslaw or potato salad. We must stress that it was ‘finger-licking good’!

Apart from the delicious food there was a great variety of drinks available to quench your thirst while you dance the night away with live music of Barrington and the Islanders. A BBQ Night on a Monday with amazing food, drinks and live music is a great way to start the week in Paradise. Belizean Shores would like to invite everybody to attend every Monday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and experience a night of fun and relaxation.

Discover an itinerary full of activities at Belizean Shores that also include Cheese Burgers in Paradise Party on Fridays with music by Dennis Wolfe and Yoga classes on Wednesday, among others. Visit www.belizeanshores.com or call 226 4478 for more information.
