MARIA's MINI MARKET - San Pedro, Belize
Meet Maria Vasquez, she and her husband (Jose), supply our island with fruits & vegetables and many wonderful things to eat. Our island is very blessed to have her here with us. It is not uncommon for the kids to come home with a bunch of fruit, that Maria has given them to eat. She is always trying to get them, to try something new and different. Some of her choices we like, some we don't like.
Maria speaks very little English, but we have become great friends over the years. I have learned that pointing and smiling are great assets, when ordering food in a different language. Maria fills our bags with all the things we want to eat, places them on a scale and gives me a price.
So if you're on island and happen to be driving down Coconut Drive, stop in and see Maria at "Maria's Mini Market" across the street from the Butterfly Farm, or just north of the Orange Gift Shop.
Maria is one of the reasons, why our island is so special.
