Belize with pictures

Hey there.

This weekend, I went to Belize, to go to the reef there. It was beautiful...but I went to Caye Caulker, and I think I found the end of the world. It is an island about 1 mile long and 3 streets wide. It was great! It took me a while to put up the pictures, but here they are! "Brother" John came, and we had a blast. One of the main highlights was eating lobster at every meal! I snorkeled on the reef and it was great.

John and I stayed in this great place called Iguana Reef. Here's a shot of John in his usual spot in the shade.....

We left on a tiny little plane. I was able to catch the shadow! I think I have flown on more small planes in the last year than I have since I was in high school!

If you guys have ever been to Barbados, there is a really famous hotel there called Sandy Lane. It even made it into 1000 places to go before you die! Well, this is the Caye Caulker version!

Here are some views of the island. The first is the main drag...Front street.


Then we have things to do on Front street!


And here is the beach on the island.


Transport on the island was pretty simple....


This is the view of Cay Caulker from the air. It's the back one.

Here are a couple more shots from the air. The ocean is incredible, so beautiful!!! The first is an island golf resort....the whole island!


This is just a picture of the reef from the air... and an island with one tiny house!

I told you guys last week that I decided to focus on my spanish lessons and stop working in the clinic. It is working much better. I'm going much faster, but then I study about 3 hours per day! I'm a bit homesick from time to time, but the time here is going so fast that now I'm just trying to do as much as I can while I'm here. One bit of good news, MY HOUSE IS RENTED! That was really starting to worry me for a couple of reasons. The first is obvious, making a house payment without a job is not really very much fun! The other reason is a bit more obscure, but renting the house from September to September meant I could have 2 full years on a lease and still come back almost directly into my house when I finish school. October to October means I'll be a bit off if I try to go back to work at TWU. Anywhere else it won't really matter, so I guess I'll just play it by ear. Like I'm doing anything else anyway!

Love you guys, see you in a couple of months.
