Okay so today was another AWESOME day! This morning I actually got my lazy butt out of bed and went running around the island. This was at like 730 and it was like 90 degrees! SOOO HOTT! Then I went with some others to do some community service at the SAGA animal shelter which is right down the road. The dogs were so stinkin' cute and they absolutely loved getting walked! It broke my heart to see them in the shelter but I tried to suck it up and just give them some love...and I'm not a huge animal person, especially big dogs, but I did try really really hard, and they were very very precious! (Mom you would be so proud!)
Then Viktor and I rented bikes and headed north on the island up to a yoga resort called Ak-bol and ate lunch and hung out on the beach. Once we biked over the toll bridge to the northern part of the island the scene all changes to resorts and nicer houses and so forth. It was great to get to see the difference and see the different faces. Our lunch was awesome and it was fun to splash around in the shallow water at the resort. Then we headed even a litter further north and we went swimming off a dock to cool off. Of course on the way back we HAD to satisfy our ice cream craving and we stopped at happy hour ice cream and got some wonderful oreo cones...yummmmyyyy!
Tonight Tess and I are going to start actually videoing for our project with the street children. I am very excited about this! We go inland Monday...I'm getting excited!! (besides the fact I might become completely broke) haha!
Another quick note is that Easter is like Christmas here and everything is closed all weekend....not to mention the water on the island is out...AGAIN and sooo no showers, no laundry, and no flushing all weekend. CRAZINESS! Gotta love living rough! It's all about the experience, right?!
Obviously still miss you all very very much!! LOVEEE ALWAYYSSS

tread lightly, tread lightly, dont tag me, dont tag me
Last night we went to the consulate's house for dinner and it was the best night we have had yet! We ate the best hamburger's EVER with the BEST fries ever and a perfect amount of ice cream to top it off! We also had a HUGE dance party and everyone was enjoying themselves, which made the night one to remember! And as i said before, it is always good when it is free :) The "tread lightly, don't tag me" saying is our trips motto since we have to tread lightly since we are teachers in the town (cough cough) and don't tag me because we have already had complaints about posted pictures on facebook...sooo silly!! but our group of crazy girls has adopted this as our saying and we have a great little tune to go with it.
It was about a 30 minute boat ride up to his huge resort and so on the way back we were all singing American classics and laughing until it hurt! Once we got back to San Pedro we went out for a little bit and continued dancing until i couldn't move anymore! I headed home and fell asleep really quickly!
Today we laid out by the pool and decided to get some work done up at a local restaurant called Estel's...where we get good internet!
Tonight V and I are going to finally watch a sunset on the Lagoon side of the island since i haven't seen one yet! (Well last night on the boat i got some good shots but it just made me want to see a better one!) Then we are going to get some food and go out with everyone!
Tomorrow we are thinking about renting bikes for the day and heading north on the island to see what else is out there!!

Larry, Man Wig, Red, and Bruce Wayne…
Weekend numero dos = successful and relaxing! Friday afternoon we had a group meeting and started talking about our inland trip, our service projects that we are completing this week, and my favorite part, we got to eat a yummy cake for Courtney’s 21st birthday that was Wednesday! Friday night Tess, Munya, Viktor and I went to dinner at this Lebanese place right down the road which was very good and very over priced, live and learn. Then we came back, played a few cards games with some juices ;) using the nicknames in the title of this blog…don’t ask why because I don’t know, but it was a lot of fun. We headed out to meet up with a few teachers to socialize out of the school setting and winded up making tons of memories! The highlight of the night was the fact that we brought Mumbles (Munya and Viktor’s “pet”) out with us and got tons of pictures and tons of stares…totally worth it though!
When we woke up Saturday morning a greasy, fattening American breakfast was much needed, so we walked down to George’s and had an omelet, potato fries, toast, and an iced coffee=YUM! After licking out plates clean, Tess, the boys and I went wandering around to find a place that we could kayak for the day. To make a long story short, we did not find a place and we winded up just swimming at Ramon’s in the public assess area. Saturday night there was supposedly a big “power hour” parade going on so Tess and I went to grab some food and see the parade. Well around here you learn quickly about “Belizean time” which means don’t even bring a watch because it seems that no one else around here does! We couldn’t find the parade and so we just headed back home after talking to the street children selling jewelry and such and passed out!
Palm Sunday: This morning we woke up feeling refreshed and went with A-team (Natalie, Anna, Keri, Tess, Jeanne, and myself) to George’s again for breakfast. We shared a lot of laughs from the weekend adventures and then Tess, Keri and I had to go to Ramon’s to meet our boat to go off shore snorkeling for the day. This experience was so much fun, very tiring, but really awesome! We each got to dive down and catch a CONCH (yes natalie...i have a whole new respect for these things after this trip haha) and then the boat driver took us to his house and made us ceviche—which is like a salsa—with the conch we caught! So we got to see him prepared the conch and all that good stuff! Very cool!! I thought I was doing a good job with my sunscreen application throughout the day…I felt a little burnt but not too bad…uh huh…I am a freakin’ lobster! I swear I have second degree burns all over my shoulders, back, and arms. DARNIT! Tess, Keri, and I were in so much pain last night at one point I think we were all delirious. But it happens, right? At least I tried to protect myself…cough cough…Tess… (Dummy didn’t even use sunscreen!) That night a few of us went to get ice cream and then munya, viktor, tess, jeanne, keri and i all played "fact or crap"..this game we got from the office...and needless to say, we had WAY too much fun! good times...
Monday, I wore a long sleeve shirt, a hat, and long pants to avoid any exposure to the sun! Ha ha. A group of us went to the library at 10 to do about 2 hours of a service project, since that is what this week is all about. We worked with the kids and made grass crosses and Easter bunnies! (of course i had to make one too...im such a 12 year old stuck in a 22 year olds body!) Then last night Jeanne and I went and played volleyball with the locals..so much fun! We are going to start playing every night from 5-7...and they are good, which makes it even better!
Tuesday (today) Viktor and I are going kayaking for a bit after we grab something to eat...because i am about to eat my hand! Then Tess and I have a meeting with a lady about our video project with the children! I am excited about getting started on that!
A wasss upppp Nat...I miss you soooooo much! And I am also having major Tower 7 withdrawals! You better have queso waiting for me at the airport on April 24th!
PawPaw- I know it was your birthday is around here somewhere, I am so sorry if I missed it! Happy birthday! I love you so much!! Nannie I heard ya’ll were enjoying the blogs from Dana! I am so glad you guys are getting to read them too!
Daddy…one more week you YOUNG man you (wink wink) I miss you familia!

INSERT FOOT HERE ---------> MOUTH
You know the old saying about sticking your foot in your mouth...well put me down for one. My last post is definitely turn in most cases, BUT after school on Thursday and Friday, I would like to go back and make a few adjustments and add a few facts about children and education here in Belize.
First, yes the children here do enjoy learning about their history and supporting their country, but they are still teenagers, and believe me, they sure do act like it. These students get a two week break for Easter and the last days of school were, well, hellacious. Classroom management and anger management are normally not a big problem for me; or should I say, WERE not a big problem for me. By the end of the day on Friday I could have cried I was so frustrated with the Form 1 students and their unruly behavior. I had to keep telling myself that this was a learning process for me and that at the end of the day I would still be alive so just push through doing the best I could to control the class. Good thing one of the teachers was willing to help me out and stand behind me during the execution of my lesson plan.
Second, that same teacher that helped me with classroom management also sat me down and taught me a few things about Belizean students and the value of education in their society. He told me that out of all the Form 1 students in the school, only 40% will graduate from Form 4 in four years. That is a total of 60% of the students dropping out of school! He also made a few comments on the lack of value on education from the families in San Pedro Town. His comment was, “Most of the parents send their children to school to get them out of their hair for the day. They bring their students for us to deal with, giving us the headache everyday of dealing with students who do not want to be here.” This is coming from a veteran teacher here in San Pedro…scary thought that sounds all too familiar with a few schools I know of in the states.
Thirdly I just wanted to share with everyone that my roommate Tess and I are doing our video project on the children selling necklaces on the streets for their families. I mentioned in my last blog about children working for their families until late at night on the streets…well this interested Tess and I and we want to know more about these children’s lives, how they feel about their role in their family, and most importantly, how they feel about working on these dangerous streets until late at night. We got a chance Saturday night to talk to a few children and we plan on working with this small group of kids for the duration of our project! I’ll keep you guys posted on how all this is going! Wish us luck!

A new meaning to the word…life...
Many times I have said that the children of Belize are just like the children of America, but when I sit down and think about this, I am totally wrong. These children are amazing in what they do every day in their schools, communities, and at their homes. Yesterday afternoon we had an assembly for the Form 1 (freshman) students after school with Mr. Nunez—the author of the book all the Form 1 classes are reading. Mr. Nunez grew up on the island of San Pedro and he wrote a book of many different stories that took place in the evolution of what San Pedro Island is today. The stories range from folk tales to myths, from personal experiences to country wide facts. During the assembly I was sitting by a troubled student and I figured I would have to keep him quiet, but boy was I wrong. He kept leaning over to me repeating what Mr. Nunez was talking about and asking me questions. This young man was so engaged in the speech that he almost couldn’t control himself. He was laughing at the jokes and critically thinking about all the facts of his home town. I know this seems minor to most people, but as a teacher, when you see a child really focus in on something because it is meaningful to him, then all the bad behavior kind of goes out the window. My point of this story is to reflect on how much the children of San Pedro care for their community, their island, their home. I see kids in America everyday throw trash out the window of their car; treat their communities like a dump, steal, lie, cheat, and so much more. They do all these things with out a care in mind. It is almost like second nature to them. I’m not saying that students in San Pedro do not participate in these cruel acts, but these students of San Pedro are always the first ones to stand proud for their town, and they make this very clear. How often do you see children in America support their country for whom we are as a community? Of course people want to complain about the government, financial issues, and health care; but why do we not ever rejoice about the facts that we are free to love, free to laugh, and free to worship?
Every night here there are children on the streets working, yes working, for their families so that they can put food on the table. If you would go into any American home as ask a child to go walk the streets from after school until dark, selling necklaces so that they could help with their families income, how many do you think would drop everything—their social life, their grades, their TV/video games—to help their families? I would take a safe guess and say not very many. Agree? These children do, all of them. They know what has to be done for their families to barely make it by. And better yet, they still get their homework done, they still make it to school the next day, they still have friends, and best of all, they still smile every chance they get.
I know that when the time comes to leave San Pedro, there is no doubt in my mind I will walk away with a new meaning of life. We always say it’s not about the cars, the clothes, or the money…how hypocritical, because up until now, of course it’s been about all those materialistic things. We as Americans feel that we can change that part of our lives. Well to be honest, that’s not the part that I want to change anymore. The addition to my “meaning of life” starts with working harder, providing love and laughter to my family every chance I get, and smiling every minute of the day. These children have taught me how to care for my community, how to get out there and figure things out on my own, and to know that no matter what, there will always be someone that loves you!

THE BRITISH ARE COMING! THE BRITISH ARE COMING!
I'll start off this post explaining the title...
Tess and I get home from school Tuesday and we go get a Belikin as we do every afternoon to calm ourselves from the day...we are on the picnic table and as I begin writing my lesson I hear a crowd of people talking. I lift up my head to find 65 British soldiers walking to the front door of Pedro's Inn (our hostel)! UMM HELLOOOOO hot boys! All 16 of our jaws dropped to the core of the Earth. For 16 girls this is probably the best thing that could have happened to us on this trip. Ha Ha! Any who, we all went out to dinner and had a good time that night. (Heather: I still have #10 and even though it was tough to resist...he is still my main man ha ha. not sure what mom was saying about #11?!)
So Wednesday did turn out to be rough for most of the girls. Luckily after dinner on Tuesday I came back to Pedro's with Tess and we watched Toy Story 2 with our new friends.
School is great! All the students are very friendly (overly friendly at times)! I started implimenting my PE ideas yesterday afternoon (wed) and everyone was impressed! PLUS the kids had a great time! I started off with a group walk/jog and then had student lead stretching. After they were warm I had them break into three groups and do the "human knot" thing. I'm trying to incorporate some critical thinking :) Then we played Junk Food Tag. One of my favorite games. I of course had to modify it because of their way limited equipment, but it opened my eyes to seeing that I don't have to have all this different equipment to show kids how to have fun and be healthy! My life skills classes are also going well. I am covering for a teacher this whole week and so the students have really respected my head teacher role in their classrooms. They are all so curious about the States and the students that we teacher there. One more funny note on teaching: I was grading papers the other day for a Form 2 (sophomore) class, and on top of the papers of a few boys in the class was their phone number, ha ha! High school boys are the same where ever you go! (SOO immature!) We have an assembly after school today about the history of San Pedro which should be very interesting!
We went to a 2 year old birthday party last night--the child of the superintendent. What a HUGE party...loud music, great food, good memories! I will post some pictures today of all this stuff!
Sooo it is almost TGIF...whoop whoop! I cannot wait to sleep in this weekend and eat a good breakfast. With no kitchen, fridge, and cockroaches we are very limited with what food we can eat!
Saturday Tess, myself, and M.V. (our friends Munya and Viktor) are going kayaking and so I am really looking forward to that! And getting some sun of course!
KP- Yes I did bring that "stuff" and it is awesome...the bathrooms obviously just smell horrid so our little secret really helps! I cannot wait to see the sunset pictures... and don't you worry...I will NEVER EVER forget where home is. Miss you more and more every day!
Heather- I promise I am going to post pictures today! The internet is unbelievably slow here and we can only get facebook at the hostel...and I hate being on my computer when I can be out by the pool, walking around, etc! I am so glad you and Chad had a great trip! I cannot wait to see and hear about it! LOVE YOUUU!
I hope everyone else is AWESOME! Thanks so much for reading my blog! I so glad you guys get a good chuckle out of all this! (it really is like 20 times better when your hear!!) ;) love love love you all!

golf cart lessons...chopping veggies...bowel movement...finally.
((To start..this was a testing day for the primary students to get their placement in the high school...aka not a normal day...))
So I will keep this one a little bit shorter BUT man my first day of school was quite interesting! The morning started off with a free lesson on driving the school golf cart with Mr. Oncorio (sp?). This may sound simple considering my family owns a golf cart, but have you ever tried driving on dirt roads with pot holes the size of the grand canyon, no stop signs, with cars and people walking all over the place? Yeah see my dilemma? And did I mention that this was totally illegal? Which made it all the more fun!
When Mr. O and I got back to school, the cafeteria staff put Jeanne and I to work chopping onions and peppers for the beef lunch. And they fed us like we were starving children! It was AWESOME! and FREE! (food always tastes better when its free!?)
When we finished preparing and serving lunch to the testing primary students, Jeanne and I played some volleyball on the beach...and then it hit me...I needed to go to the bathroom, bad. Tess and I have had some troubles with this since we have been here, so bowel movements are big news for us, hence why I feel the need to post this. ha ha!
Cannot wait to see what the next few days bring!
Piz- if you see this will you post some sunset pictures from home...i miss being a bahama mama...tell matty i said hello!

Pig toe...
...yes mama...I ate a pig toe...and a tail...im sorry!
Our whole group before the birthday dinner!
My swollen feet :(
After walking miles and miles everyday and eating the amount of sodium we do here...this is the result. May not look painful, but you have NO IDEA!
High School Teachers :)
There are a ton of little alley ways like this leading to the beach...just stopped at one to snap a shot!
Roomie
This is Tess and I at our first meal!
