Belize gets BETTER!

We visited paradise today, literally. The picture are posted on facebook... please enjoy, and don't be afraid to experience jealousy.

Last night Olivia, Lindsey, Julianne and I went on an excursion to the movies. We had two options: The Hannah Montana Movie, or The Fast and The Furious. Although there was a brief moment of struggle, we decided on the later. It wasn't really my type of movie, and had we been in the states I would have never agreed to watch it in theaters, but it really wasn't that bad for $2.50. One interesting thing about the casino/movie theater/bowling alley/restaurant/bar that we visited last night was that there was a bathroom fee. Yes, I'm serious. We paid one Belizean dollar (50 American cents) to use the restroom. I suppose it is to keep the millions of middle schoolers that swarmed the place from loitering in the bathroom, but I was in shock. I mean, who really makes a pregnant lady pay to go to the bathroom?!? They better be glad I had the change, or else they would have seen my not so nice half. =)

Today was the trip to a caye that I never caught the name of, on a huge boat with Olivia's partner organization's director, Dionne. Apparently her and her extended family make a trip out to this BEAUTIFUL place every two weeks. They take a grill, a half dozen coolers of food and drinks, and enjoy relaxing and playing in the sun. It was fantastic!

Now I plan to spend the evening recovering from such a taxing day. I think I might try to find a church to attend in the morning, although I'm not sure how I will know what time it starts.

Happy Memorial Day/Commonwealth Day!
