Last night we stayed up pretty late with our roommates enjoying the local rums at home J They have this great dark rum called One Barrel – it is so cheap and almost tastes like butterscotch. We will bring some home for people to try. They also have a great coconut rum – combined with pineapple juice, it is amazing J

Today I spent most of the day typing up notes from the meetings we were at. We are making so much progress on our program and it is amazing to realize how many children and families we are going to be helping nation wide.

We made mobiles with the lunch program children today. It was amazing to see them so happy and be able to hang something in their rooms at home. It sucked though because in the middle of making them outside, a huge storm rolled in and the construction paper starting flying everywhere! Everything is harder sometimes in Belize J We are really going to miss these kids when we leave. Spending an hour every day with them, we have really gotten to know them. Jim knows the boys better and I tend to know the girls better. They just love having older figures that talk to them and hang out.

TGIT – almost Friday and we are headed to Guatemala tomorrow!
