Valentine’s Day at Scotty’s and other Updates
On Sunday Valentine’s Day came and went and we had a special dinner at Scotty’s. I’m not really in to Valentine’s Day personally but there are a lot of people out there who are so we obliged. I got comments on my blue dress – why no red? I wore orange last year and decided black would probably be a bit too morbid. Last year we did something similar and it was a success – a pasta dinner by candlelight and romantic love songs playing in the background. This year we had a $20 BZD special that included pasta, bread, salad, a dessert and a drink. Our first customers that day were friends from Progresso and they ended up staying to socialize until closing time which was fun. We really didn’t have a lot of couples in overall but we did have a few groups of Belizeans in to drink – towards the end of the night the singles crowd came in for some dinner too. Overall it was fun and successful but there really isn’t a lot to report about the event besides that.
After Valentine’s Day I spent a couple days in Progresso since it was my weekend from the bar. While there I went kayaking in the dark for the first time – it was extremely peaceful even though my arms weren’t very happy with me at the end of the trip. Kayaking on Progresso Lagoon is always a cool experience for the simple reason that there is never anyone else around. It’s like having the entire lagoon as a personal playground. I’m sure it won’t stay that way forever but for now it’s a pretty cool experience.
Next up on the agenda is a trip south to Punta Gorda, Belize. I’ve never been there so I’m really looking forward to this trip. We’re leaving on Saturday and plan on spending a couple days in Livingston, Guatemala which would mark my first trip to Guatemala too. Hopefully I’ll have a ton of exciting stories to report when I get back.

It was nice to drop by and see your friends from Progresso…hadn’t seen them since the year before when my wife and I kept running into them in San Pedro..they are now my “old friends” too
Enjoyed the company on Valentines Day since I’d just dropped off my wife and her mom at the airport.
I hope my younger son Dan and his friends made use of the Map Nancy gave me..he and his 3 friends are in town and I know they’d enjoy Scotty’s.
Enjoy your trip to Livingston…my last trip there was in 1976…I’m sure it’s not the same place it was back then…but it’s got to still be a real neat place..have fun and thanks again to both you and your mom for the fine food, beer and company.
It was great to have you in – I love meeting new people here. I am very excited about the trip, I’ve heard mostly good things about that area of Guatemala. I think we may make it to Pine Ridge in Belize too which I love. Make sure to stop back in on your next visit here!
