from a friend...

The annual Caye Caulker Lobsterfest, the ORIGINAL lobsterfest, was held over the weekend. Threats of rain on Friday morning did not deter fest goers who arrived by the hundreds to the island beginning Friday afternoon. The weekend turned out to be sunny and warm, making for an excellent fest.

Mr. Elizabeth Canul was crowned Miss Lobsterfest on Friday night.

On Saturday I had lobster ceviche, lobster salad, lobster kebabs, stewed lobster and coconut curry lobster. FANTASTIC!!!

On Sunday I had "bad belly" from all that rich food :-)

Since the rest of the country seems hell bent on stealing the Lobsterfest theme from the one and only original, Caye Caulker (often immitated but never duplicated), I suggested they change the theme to make it a SEAFOOD FEST instead of just a lobster fest. Fish sere and fish boil up or even shrimp ceviche would have been quite in order this weekend as well.
