Guide. They are in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. They were in Belize doing dental missions at Valley of Peace, and whilst down
in Belize, visited La Isla Bonita, where they had a great time in “paradise” with the “warm and friendly” people. They visited
during February 17th-19th, 2006.

Greetings to my visiting friends
On behalf of the people of San
Pedro Town, I extend a warm welcome to all visitors arriving to our
shores. I assure you that your trip
to “La Isla Bonita” will be no ordinary vacation. Our island is famous for its rich cultural diversity,
where Mestizos, Creole and
Garinagu blend to form a unique
encounter. While here, I encourage you to explore the Caribbean
Sea and find Belize’s abundant
treasures. Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark-Ray Alley are just
two of the many spots where you
can enjoy our coral reef formation and abundant and breathtaking sea life. San Pedro is also
home to world-class fishing and
scuba diving.
For the more adventurous, “La
Isla Bonita” offers a wide array
of water sports and for those looking to get a glimpse of the mystical world of the Maya, these historical ruins are just a short expedition away. You will also be able
to discover Belize’s vast cave systems and many natural sanctuar-
ies that are home to our country’s
unique flora and fauna.
Whether you are spending your
honeymoon at an exclusive resort
or looking for an adventurous, yet
romantic escape, San Pedro is surely
the place to be. I invite you to explore our home and see the many
wonders it has to offer.
We welcome you with open arms.
Bienvenidos a San Pedro!

Ambergris Caye’s first Butterfly Jungle
Nower!

Bu East
For
The Butterfly Jungle is home to
more than 12 species of
Belizean Butterflies, including
the beautiful Blue Morphos.
Among the water sports and recreational activities that are readily
available on Ambergris Caye, the
newest attraction, “The Butterfly
Jungle”, is among the most unique on
the island. The Butterfly farm is home
to more than 12 species of vibrantly
colored butterflies. Owners Tom
Thomas and partner Valley Ruddick
are proud to house these magnificent
creatures and are making their services available to the public.
Designed as a live exhibition conservatory, the Butterfly Jungle is now
successfully breeding local butterfly

species of Belize. Visitors to the Butterfly Jungle will be shown how these
beautiful insects are bred and raised,
and later can freely wander through
“the flight room”. You can see hundreds of colorful butterflies, including spectacular blue morphs, flutter
from flower to flower. You’ll find
plants that butterflies and hummingbirds love, such as lantana, banana,
heliconia, passionflower, hibiscus,
milkweed and many other exotic
flowering plants, interspersed with
lush jungle foliage.

Continued from Page 3
The duo acquires the most attractive varieties of these plants, in hopes
that more local gardeners will plant
butterfly and hummingbird gardens
so these delightful creatures will stay
on Ambergris forever. They raise all
the butterflies you see at the jungle,
plus you can see every stage of the
transformation from miniscule egg to
Stage 1 - Egg
Stage 3 - Pupa
Stage 2 - Caterpillar
Stage 4 Adult
Watching the magnificent creatures evolve from tiny egg to gorgeous adult is a
fascinating process.
lowly caterpillar to the compact
chrysalis to the miraculous jeweled
butterfly. You can also observe some
very bizarre behavior like “mudpuddle clubs”, learn about the butterflies’ role in Belize’s rich ecosystem,
and help ensure there are butterflies
on our island.
The San Pedro Sun took a behind–
the-scenes tour of a working butterfly farm, beginning with an outdoor
presentation on the plants they use to
feed these creatures; the passion
fruit. Then it’s a leisurely walk
through the butterfly “flight room”
where the butterflies fly freely and
exhibit their wonderful colors while
fluttering from place to place. The
tour is very educational as Valley and
Tom explain every stage of the butterflies’ life cycle. One can catch
great glimpses of the free flying butterflies that are the star attraction
which will capture the imagination of
the young and old alike. This truly is
an unforgettable experience. According to the owners, the real reason they
built the Butterfly Jungle is to see the
look of enchantment on the face of a
child or visitors. Watching a butterfly emerge from its chrysalis is a
truly wonderful experience and it is
their hope that by educating children
about the unique life cycle of butterflies, they can draw attention to the
environmental issues which threaten
these special beauties of our island
home. Moreover, half the proceeds
of their live pupae sales will go toward building butterfly/caterpillar
habitats in the local schools, and providing educational materials so the
children can experience the magic of

QUESTION:
What are you doing here?
“Whatever John wants me to do,” laughed Frank
Cavallaro from St. Pete’s Beach, Florida, USA... “I’m
just retired from the construction business and came
down to look around.” Frank and friends all stayed at
the Holiday Hotel.
“I got my SCUBA certification,” beamed Bud Mast
who came from St. Joseph, Illinois, USA with his wife
Donna and two good friends who own a condo up north.
Bud is an accountant with the University of Illinois and
Donna runs a day care out of their home.
“I fish and dive” said Jim Mathewson who
moved here from Redding, California, USA
five years ago. “I opened The Sausage Factory four years ago and just sold it so now I
can have time to fish and dive.” Jim and
his wife live down by Caribe Island.
“I am a bartender at Coco Locos Bar”
said Rose Cappello who lives with her
husband Louis at The Villas @ Del Rio.
Rose was born and raised in San
Ignacio in the Cayo district and moved
here last year.
According to The Baldman
“I’m waiting for the thief to
bring my tray back! I am at
Sweet Basil’s Restaurant on
the north side of the cut 24/7.”

metamorphosis, and be
inspired with love and
curiosity for our unique
habitat here on San
Pedro, while gaining a
greater appreciation of
science and nature.
Apart from the
jungle tour, a fascinating service which The
Butterfly Jungle offers
is butterfly releases for
special occasions. Butterflies are magical and
what better way to wow your guests at
birthdays, quinceaños, anniversaries,
or weddings? It’s no doubt, releasing
live Belizean butterflies at your wedding or arranged event is an indescribably unique experience. Watch with delight as radiantly colored butterflies
ascend into the sky with your wishes.
You may choose from an elegant release cage or basket that holds up to 50
butterflies each, or a stunning decorated box that will keep your secret until
the release moment. Whatever butterflies represent to you, be it love, freedom, beauty, change, or resurrection,
having them for a special release can
only enhance your special moment.
Visitors can also visit the greenhouse filled with lush jungle plants and
outlandish flowers and learn all about

Buying a Piece of Paradise
Buying real estate overseas can be exciting and rewarding. And what better
way to get up in the morning than with a fantastic view of the Caribbean Sea and
the white sandy beaches. Most visitors believe that buying a piece of property on
Ambergris Caye is extremely difficult but not only does Ambergris Caye offer
fantastic properties but amazing realtors that go the extra mile to make your
move and your purchase as easy as 1,2,3.
In the coming weeks, we will feature the different real estate professionals on
“La Isla Bonita.”
Southwind Properties is a real estate
company that has been in operation since
1980. It was originally set up as a partnership between Mr. John Edwards and
Mr. Stanley Ian Ritchie and was eventually incorporated under the Laws of Belize as a Limited Liability Company.

The Man Behind Southwinds
To have success in any business, one needs a strong front person. Southwind
Properties has certainly gotten far because of their front person – Claudio Azueta
who has worked for the company for the past twenty years.
In 1986, Claudio Azueta was hired as the office manager for Southwind Properties, an emerging real estate company in San Pedro. At the time, Claudio was the
only person working at the company apart from the two owners. As time went by
he learned to do appraisals, title transfers and other legal work.
Twenty years later, Claudio is the operations manager of Southwind Properties, which has become one of the largest real estate agencies in this country,
handling multi-million dollar sales and investments. “Things here at Southwind
have improved and changed immensely. To be working here for the past twenty
Claudio Azueta of Southwind Properties. years seems like a great accomplishment.”
SPECIAL Caye Caulker Visitor Section
Getting Around
Once you arrive on Caye Caulker,
it is easy to get around by foot, but
there are a few options for transportation as well.
Perhaps the best way to get around
the island is on the most popular mode
of transportation, the bicycle. Rentals are readily available by the hour,
day or week at an affordable price
cost. Golf carts are available for rent
by the hour, day or week, as well.
Golf carts and large tricycles also
provide taxi service.
Money Matters & Services Provided
*Banks
There is only one bank on Caye
Caulker (Atlantic Bank) and the bank
also has an ATM available. Make
sure you have ample cash or
March 23, 2006
traveler’s checks as many budget accommodations and smaller service
providers do not accept credit cards.
The bank is open from Monday – Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. and
on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00
p.m.
*Internet
There are several Internet cafes
on the island.
*Laundry
A large laundromat is located on
Middle Street near the football field
in the central part of the island. You
can also ask at your hotel if there is
someone who does laundry either at
the hotel or in the neighborhood.
*Stores & Shops
There are several grocery shops
on the island and a few local fruit
stands. Items may be priced a little
higher on the Caye, as the transportation cost to get the goods to the island is an added expense. The local
bakery is located on Middle Street
and several local people circulate the
island in the afternoons with baskets
of freshly baked goods such as cakes,
breads and powder buns for sale.
*Restaurants
Caye Caulker is home to many ex-
cellent restaurants and cafes. Visitors can choose from Belizean, Italian, Mexican, Chinese and American style dishes served up in a variety of settings. Fresh seafood abounds
making this an excellent choice at
nearly every establishment. There
are several local food stands offering take-out meals at very economical prices.

Coconut Bread
Leave oven on.
This bread is slightly sweet, like some
corn breads.
Make batter:
Stir together self-rising flour, ground
coconut, and remaining cup (untoasted)
coconut in a large bowl. Beat together
butter and sugar in another bowl with
an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and creamy, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Whisk 1 cup water
into flour mixture, then add egg mixture, whisking just until well blended.
Bake bread:
Pour batter into loaf pan, smoothing
top with a spatula, and bake in middle
of oven until a wooden skewer inserted
in center comes out clean and top is
evenly brown, 1 hour to 1 hour and 10
minutes. Cool bread to warm in pan on
a rack, 10 to 15 minutes, then turn out
of pan and set right side up on rack to
cool completely, about 2 hours more.
Cut into 1-inch-thick slices.

Ingredients:
*4 cups sweetened flaked coconut (10
oz)
*2 cups self-rising flour (not cake flour)
*1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
*1/2 cup sugar
*2 large eggs
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and
flour a 9- by 5- by 3-inch loaf pan,
knocking out excess flour.
Toast and grind coconut:
Spread 3 cups coconut in a large shallow baking pan (1 inch deep) and toast
in middle of oven, stirring occasionally, until evenly golden brown, 20 to
25 minutes. (Watch flakes carefully;
edges burn quickly.) Cool completely
in pan on a rack, about 15 minutes, then

The Kinkajou
forests of Southern Mexico, Central
America and parts of South America.
They are arboreal (living in or among
trees) and stay in the forest canopy, seldom descending to the forest floor. They
are found in a variety of habitats, from
mature tropical forests to heavily disturbed and secondary forests. Kinkajous
are extremely agile and fast, traveling
quickly along the tree tops, jumping noisily from tree to tree. As nocturnal (most
active at night) creatures, the kinkajou
sleeps during the day in tree hollows or
leaves to avoid all contact with sunlight.
Closely related to the raccoon, the kinkajou is a small, furry, long-tailed mammal that lives in the lowland rain forests of Southern Mexico, Central America
and parts of South America. They live among the forest canopy and seldom descending to the forest floor. Kinkajous are extremely agile and fast, traveling
quickly along the tree tops, jumping noisily from tree to tree.
The kinkajou, (Potos flavus), also
known as the “Honey Bear” or “Night
Walker” in Belize, is a furry, long-tailed
mammal that lives in the lowland rain
They are in the same family as raccoons
(Procyonidae), and have a similar role
in rainforest ecosystems that raccoons
do in temperate forest ecosystems.

Kinkajou Continued from Page 12
This small animal has short, soft honey
gold or brown fur, a round head, small
round ears and a cat like face with very
prominent eyes. The kinkajou has a fully
prehensile (adapted for seizing, grasping or holding) tail that is used as support
when climbing or resting. To aid in climbing, they can rotate their feet backwards
so that they can hang from tree branches.
The toes are joined by a membrane that
extends a third of the way down each toe
and each forepaw has five digits. Kinkajous have large scent glands on their
throats and sides of their jaws, which are
hairless. The length of the head and body
is 16 to 22 inches, with the tail being the
same length. They weigh between 4 to
10 pounds.
Although kinkajous are evolutionarily
derived from meat-eating ancestors, they
are primarily omnivorous, eating both
animal and vegetable food. Although 90%
of their diet consists of fruit, they do consume invertebrates, small mammals,
eggs, leaves, honey and nectar. They use
their incredibly long tongues (around six
inches long) to collect nectar and to get
honey from bee hives. When collecting
nectar the kinkajou turns upside down,
on its side or on its back so not to lose any
of the fruit juice. While doing this the
creature also collects pollen on its face,
making them the only carnivore that is
also an important pollinator. They also
use their clawed hands to pluck and eat
fruit and in the dry season of Belize they
often eat flowers for their nectar.
March 23, 2006
A major method of communication
between kinkajous is by scent. Kinkajous
have scent glands near the mouth, on the
throat, and on the belly. Making sounds
(grunting and growling) is another way
these animals communicate. They have
a variety of vocalizations, from chatters
to screams, and a “kissing” noise made
when happy or interested. They also vocalize using small “peeps” for close communication and a shrill scream for far
away communication
The Kinkajou is a solitary animal,
avoiding contact with other kinkajous unless mating. Each kinkajou has its own
territory that it marked with its scent.
They socialize only to mate and after a
gestation of 112 to 118 days the female
gives birth to one (sometimes two) cubs,
this usually takes place from April to
December. The cub is born in a dark den
with their eyes and ears closed. Their
eyes open within two to six weeks, and
in another three to six weeks their tails
become prehensile. The kinkajou mother
is very protective of her cub. During
times of danger she will carry the infant
upside down just below her chest. The
mother carries the young for almost four
months, at which time the young are almost independent.
Kinkajous play an important part in
their environment. As pollinators and
seed dispersers, they are considered a
“keystone” rainforest species since they
are necessary to the survival of the ecosystem they reside in. Their predators
include diurnal birds of prey, which take
sleeping kinkajous from tree tops, foxes,
tayras, jaguarundi, jaguar, ocelot, margay, and people, who hunt them for their
meat and fur. Kinkajou numbers are fall-
ing rapidly as a result of deforestation
and habitat loss.
Kinkajous are sometimes kept as pets.
Their personality tends to be playful and
curious, and they are generally tame.
However, some owners report unpredictable, vicious attacks by their kinkajous
even after several years of non-aggression. In 2005, kinkajous were made popular as pets by celebrities such as Paris
Hilton, who named hers “Baby Luv”.
San Pedro Street Treats
One of the features of life in tropical destinations like San Pedro and other parts of the Caribbean is the sale
of in-season tropical fruits, vegetables, candy treats and home made pastries by road-side or street vendors.
Usually, they occupy a very small plot of place. In the corner of a street or in any strategic spot along the street where they usually offer special warm dishes, fresh
fruits/vegetables, candy treats and much more. During the year, it is a common occurrence to see or spot these vendors making a living by providing us with the very
best selection of their produce. Walking the streets of San Pedro, one can take a look at a variety of yummy treats that are on sale, but do we know most of what they are
selling? The Sun, took it to the streets to visit the many local street vendors and find out about the yummy treats they offer. Here is what we found out!

Equal
Opportunity
Employment
“Hey, Steve. Did you ever find someone to work at the Internet shop?”
“Oh, you saw the sign in the window?” Steve asked.
“No,” I said. “I was just reading your ad in the paper in the classifieds. It
says, ‘Help Wanted, must be able to type, work a computer and must be bilingual. We are an equal opportunity employer.’”
“Yeah, I found someone,” Steve said, “but I’ll never put a sign like that in
my window again.”
Trivia Tidbits
*On the planet Jupiter, your weight would be nearly three times greater
than it is on Earth.
*An adult sitting in a relaxed position inhales approximately one pint of air
with every breath.
*Lightning puts 10 million tons of nitrogen into the Earth each year.
*There are many definitions in the dictionary for the word “bob,” which
includes its use as a noun when used for a suckling calf.
*With only a four-week gestation period, a cottontail rabbit can produce 5
to 7 litters, and as many as 35 offspring per year.
*A King Cobra is the biggest of all poisonous snakes and can grow to over
13 feet long. A bite from a King Cobra can kill an elephant in 4 hours.
*The country with the most post offices is India with over 152,792, compared with just over 38,000 in the United States.
*The Bateleur eagle of Africa hunts over a territory of 250 square miles a
day.
*An unusual eating disorder called tomatophagia — but also known as pica
— is blamed on iron deficiency anemia. People with tomatophagia develop
unusual cravings for such things as tomatoes, ice, detergent, starch, clay, or
even dirt.
*A cow gives nearly 200,000 glasses of milk in her lifetime.
“Why is that?”
“The day after I put the sign in the window I opened up Coconet early in the
morning. I heard a noise and a big brown dog pushed the door open with his
nose. He went over to the sign and put his paw on it and whined. I don’t know
how he knew it but somehow he seemed to know I was hiring and he wanted the
job.”
“Steve, that’s the stupidest thing I ever heard,” I said. “I hope you don’t
expect me to believe that tale.”
“It gets better,” Steve said. “I said, ‘I can’t hire you. The sign says you have
to be able to type and work a computer.’ That dog jumped up on one of the chairs
at a computer and proceeded to lay out a spreadsheet and downloaded a video
about breeding dogs.”
“Oh, come on,” I said.
“Hey, you don’t have to believe me,” Steve said, “but I’ll tell you exactly
what happened. I said, ‘O.K., you are one smart dog, but I can’t hire a dog.’
The dog jumped off of the chair and went over to the sign. He put his paw on the
part that said, ‘We are an equal opportunity employer.’ I said, ‘Yes, but the sign
says you have to be bi-lingual.’”
He paused.
“O.K.” I said. “I have to ask. What happened next?”
“That dog looked me right in the eye and said, ‘Me-e-o-w.’”
