Thursday

Okay, it's been a while since I've updated. Things have been crazy. Last weekend the girls and I bused to San Ignacio and stayed at a "resort/working farm/ranch" called Clarissa Falls. We saw the Ruins again and then tubed down the river. It was refreshing after having been in the hot sun. So, we put on our lifejackets (required) and attached ourselves to our tubes, so that when we fell out we wouldn't lose the tube. I'll admit I was a little nervous. The guy who dropped us off said "just stay center left". That was it. And, "we haven't lost anybody yet". Okay. So, after going down around 7 rapids/waterfalls, we reached clarissa falls resort and got out of the river...it took about 2.5 hours. I bailed twice and was just spinning under the water and rocks. It was literally drop-offs/waterfalls in a few places. The worst part was hearing it approaching and having NO IDEA what it looked like or where it would be best to go down.

I also got very sick saturday night. I'll spare details, but it was bad and lasted a few days, so I started on antibiotics. Feeling better -- thanks for keeping me in your prayers.

Now we're back to Belize City and jumping in with the red cross. The office is crazy with people and supplies. they have received tons of donations due to the flooding down here. We are supposed to be working on an HIV/AIDS campaign. In essence, a media campaign? We'll see how that goes. Also have been travling around town meeting organizations and people.

That's it for now. I have downloaded some pics, will try to post a link later when I have more time.
