You Betta Belize it!

I recently had quite the adventure traveling with my friend, Amanda, to Belize to renew our passports. Central America has this silly rule that you must travel at least 2 countries away and stay for at least 48 hours in order to renew your visa for another 90 days. So, we packed our bags and set out for Placencia, Belize.

To make a long story short, 10 buses, 4 boats, and 2 taxis later, we arrived at our destination. It took us a full 12 hours to get there! We were so exhausted! I wish I could put up some pictures of the peninsula known as Placencia, because it was SO BEAUTIFUL. However, since I can't, you'll have to check out my profile on Facebook to see them.

We had a great time hanging out on the beach, eating at the local "De'Tach" restaurant, or trying to understand the Creole that the locals were speaking.

All in all, it was a great trip, even though we got stuck in San Pedro (about 2 hours away from home) because we got there too late and there were no buses running to Sigua that night. So, we ended up missing an additional day of school which would not have been avoided.

We got back to school on Wednesday, taught for one day, then learned that the school was going to be closed until after semana santa due to a throat virus that is running rampant in the school. Please pray for the health and safety of all the students and staff.

God Bless you all!
