Hey Everyone! Sorry for the long gap in posts. The internet has been down for almost 2 weeks now, and it's not looking good for the future. I'm typing this at an AIRCONDITIONED cafe in Cayo, which is a bigger town 15 minutes from Benque. Airconditioning is such a treat; we actually come more for the airconditioning then anything else. Grading 100's of papers is much more pleasant when sweat isn't dripping off the tip of your nose. This last weekend was a 3 day weekend, so all the teachers took a trip to the keys. This was my first time to the Caribbean sea, and I was floored at how beautiful it is. Palm trees, white sands, turquoise waters. Ah, the missionary life... The break was so helpful, though- just to get back to amenities (like hot water) helped me refocus and regain sanity. It was cheap, too- we stayed at this really nice hotel for only 15 Belize a night- that's 7.50 American! One of the guys in our group told the owners we were missionaries, and they gave us a huge discount- it normally is 80 american a night. We did see some effects of hurricane Ivan. The Caye is probably only about a foot above sea level at the highest point, but it is surrounded by a coral reef which protects it. The last day we were there, we could see humongous waves breaking on the reef. Normally there are no waves on the beaches, but they were getting some, much to the excitement of the locals. All the streets were flooding, though, because of the waves! Anyways, I hope to post pictures soon. It's contingent on whether or not the school's internet is fixed, though. Ok, that's all for now!
