Camera Cord HURRY UP

Thank goodness for my mom (and Jeff) for sending me my camera cord (and retainer :) ) in the mail on Monday!  Hopefully the states have something to do with the mail around here because I can't imagine the "Belize Time" that could go on with mail :(
So 6-10 business days from monday :)
This blog will have pictures and I won't be a snaggle tooth!

Belize City stinks (like literally smells terrible).  I guess in the first week I was too awestruck to notice the stench.  barf.  Everything will be smelling fine and you are walking along then all of a sudden you are struck with nasty wiff of fish, poop, dirty, yick.  
I won't miss that when I'm home.

This week has really been pretty uneventful!
Teaching a bunch of crazy lovely 4-5 year olds to ready and write and to add and do clock.
I'm pretty sure their little minds aren't ready for it, but that's how it goes down here. 

I have actually started lesson planning and have a few for next week.  I was planning on starting full time next week, but have instead decided to chat with evan and lay in bed instead of plan, so maybe next week :)

The school food here is amazing!  They have a homemade snake (sorry not the ..ssssss hissing snake) SNACK each day for the kids to purchase and it is $1 bz. So .50 cents US.  Pretty good deal for two soft tacos in corn tortillas!  (Jeff you would love the school food)

I can't wait to get my camera cord so I can show you guys my school!  My class is right in the front (where the founder of the school lives right above and hangs her laundry out to dry).  My The PreK, Nursery, and Kinder rooms are all in the front on the bottom floor of the house.  
They all have screen doors and windows that are always open for air circulation.  There are like 4 or 5 fans in my room and no a/c.  It's so pretty. I can't wait to upload pics!

We ate out last night at the Smokey Mermaid.  They had 2 for one margaritas so we figured why not.  I got a margarita and it was so sweet I had to give it back :(  My food was wayyyyy over priced and not really that great!  I got Conk Steak.  (I'm trying to venture out down here and eat things I have never tried before)  The worst stomach ache of my life came after that conk steak.  Yuck!  Never again.

This weekend I think we are planning on some Mayan Ruins.  I think we are going to go to Altun Ha on Saturday early!  I don't really know what to expect, because I haven't read up on it at all.  

Well for now there are only 49 more days till I get to see Evan and have a weekend away in the Cayes.  

The next weekend my fam is coming down with a few friends and I can't wait to see them also!

All-in-all Belize is a beautiful place and I am having a lot of fun, but still missing Ga a lot (besides the cold)

Love
