Well hello all. All is well in San Ignacio. This last weekend I spent in the north on our visit of a current volunteer. Holly, Emily, and I got sent to Progresso to visit Laura who is a teacher trainer in the small village. I had a great time!
Friday we went to Belmopan for our tech sessions then the three of us set off on the long, long bus ride to Corozal (about 4 hours). Since the bus to Progresso doesn’t run that late we had to stay the night in Corozal at the Sea Breeze hotel. Corozal is beautiful! We were finally able to see the sea for the first time since we arrived in Belize. In the morning we had a great breakfast and walked around touring Corozal. We were even able to hop in the sea for some fun in the sun. I got a little burnt but by now it has faded into a lovely tan. In the afternoon we took a bus to Orange Walk town. Since Progresso is so small Laura has to do her shopping in Orange Walk. She showed us around for a bit and shopped then took another bus to Progresso. By that time we were all pretty much exhausted. We cooked some stir fry potatoes and then went to bed. Sunday we took a short bike ride around Progresso and Laura showed us the village. Her house is amazing. It’s a one bedroom house right on the lagoon. I’ll post a picture of the view from her patio. It’s ridiculously amazing. After the bike ride we went for a swim in the lagoon. We then cooked dinner (yummy nachos) and went to bed. Monday we got up early and Laura introduced us to the principal of the school that she works for. At around noon we had a wonderful lunch at her host mom’s house and headed back to Belmopan on another very long bus ride. It was such an amazing weekend. Now I am really excited to find out where I will be placed for the next two years. Most likely I’m going to the north but we’ll see..
Here is a picture from Laura's porch
Until we meet again….
