Typical Day

10pm-4am - Dogs barking and loud vehicles throughout the night
4am - Tropical birds chirping near my window in a loud fashion
5am - Beto and Alice awake, eating breakfast and setting table
6:30am - finally get out of bed
7am - eat breakfast (toast, oatmeal, fruit, instant coffee, juice)
7:45am - start walking to Red Cross Office
8:15-8:20 - arrive at work, try to quick check email
8:30-12pm - work, visit organizations in community, read materials, etc
12-1:30 - Belize lunch hour(s)- we generally take a lunch from home (leftover dinner, fruit, or sandwich)
1:30-5pm finish work
5pm-5:30 walk home, maybe stop off at stores to explore around. Get honked at, called "beautiful", see iguanas and wish-willies (like iguanas but dark grey), large barking dogs behind fences in our faces, etc
5:45-6:30 - go for run every other day at the marion Jones track near our house
6:30 - must be home by this time!!! Gets dark. We eat dinner, chat, watch the news, etc.

The rest of the evening is spent "debriefing" the day, or having "seminar" as we call it. We also watch TV. Bed Time is generally around 10:30ish.

Tonight we might try and see a movie at the princess hotel and casino near our house. It's close enough to walk, but since the show starts at 8pm, we'll have to take a taxi. This is a large hotel with several theatres and an arcade/bowling alley, etc. Saturday and Sunday we're thinking to head over to Ambergris Caye, San Pedro. We'll just stay the night.

Hope all of you enjoy the 4th of July!!!!

Hi Shavonne - Thanks for keeping us updated. The pictures are great! What a tremendous set of experiences for you! We are definitely proud of you and keeping you in our prayers. We had a quiet 4th yesterday - Amy is on vacation this week with her friend Megan and her family, so Carol and I have been working around the house and yard quite a bit. Hope you'r having a great day!
