Independence Day

So this weekend was the celebration of Belize's 28th birthday. Which also means we got another full day off of training (that makes 30)... after going to the blue hole we all went home and cleaned our selves up and then the Spanish people went to do our cooking day.. We made Salbutes and they were amazing.



Afterwards we all eventually met up at a local bar in the center of San Ignacio. Some weird fellow that looked similar to santa claus was telling us bizarre stories. We all hung out for a while and at midnight they shot off fireworks officially kicking off Belize's independence day.



Independence day was very fun plus i finally got to sleep in (all the way till 9!) There was a really cool parade which the pics are on my facebook.. sorry i'm not very detailed i have to be back in class at ten.

We were wondering if you have any suggestions?? we want to go to an amazing beach and just have a great time. a hammock is a must! haha Thank you. If you ever want to come visit Guatemala let me know. my email is magellanoel@gmail.com
