Outlaws :) or trying to be

Wednesday, June 15th
So our 30 day visas ended today and we had just assumed we could go to Guatemala this coming weekend and be fine. We get to the office and tell people what’s up and they all freak out saying we have to go to the Capital, Belmopan, and get our volunteer visas today before we get into trouble. Lovely, we have to head back to our favorite city. We took the 10:15am express bus (hey jammed Bob Marley the whole time on the bus which was awesome) and got to the immigration office by 11:15. It is amazing how slow people work here. They took our documents after some waiting in line and told us to come back at 2pm. We went to eat lunch and then hit up our favorite internet café across from the bus station. We go back to the immigration office (where they have HALF NAKED WOMEN AS THEIR SCREENSAVERS!!!!) and ask for our documents. Of course they weren’t ready. We saw many ‘sketchy’ foreigners asking for citizenship. We ran into our friend Melissa there too (you can’t go anywhere in Belize without seeing someone you know since it is such a small country) which made it more fun waiting. We finally got out of there around 3pm with our volunteer visas extended. Back to San Ignacio – yippee!
