….hold on to that feeling! 🙂
I couldn’t help myself when it came to making a pun out of a song.
As you probably guessed, I am in Belize now for the field study. I landed the day before yesterday only to find that the part of town I was in had only car repair shops and the occasional bank. So after ordering in Chinese food at the hotel, I sat down to figure out how to spend the following day.
I discovered a beach that was a $10 taxi ride away and I enjoyed the morning there. I found that with no one to get my back, I burned a bit. But that’s the sort of thing you really can’t ask a complete stranger to do. My next task was to figure out how to put aloe on the places that I couldn’t even reach in the first place.
It was enjoyable though and I slept well that night…haha.
As for today. I hopped a bus to the zoo. The bus was an old school bus turned city bus, and they packed it Malawi style. But all in all, still a good and cheap way to travel. I am now at the zoo a little early to meet my cohort, but that gave me the chance to eat a little something and blog.
Belize is nice. It makes me think of the Bahamas mixed with the Dominican…and throw a tiny bit of Mexico in for good measure. The people here are awesome…but the mosquitoes are huge. That’s my assessment for now. 🙂 I can update you more later.
Wish me luck with meeting my fellow students. And pray for grace in this season.
(PS. for more on Vietnam, I have a post from July 10th on my personal blog: http://carolinesadventuresinlife.blogspot.com/)
