I suppose I should say a few words about the wonderful country of Belize since it was where I spent a week and a half of pure spring break bliss. We were lucky enough to have our friend (who spent 2 years in Belize in the peace corp) show us around and share her love with country with us. It was a truly beautiful place filled with so many amazing sights and people. We spent a few days on the island of Caye Caulker where we snorkeled, sailed, tanned, scuba dove, and kayaked (I know, sounds rough right?) Then we spent a few days in San Ignacio where we floated down a river for one day and then spent another day hiking and spelunking through a cave filled with ancient mayan ruins and remains (sounds awesome, right?) Here are some pics of what we got to see and do:

Goodbye beautiful Caye Caulker
Since Spring Break life has basically consisted of school and whatever adventures will give us the opportunity to escape the semi-unbearable heat. Which means we have been seeing A LOT of movies lately. With the combination of the air conditioning and the freshly made carmel corn the Tuxtla movie theatre is basically heaven (not to mention the whole cinematic experiences aren't too shabby either). I'm hoping that the rainy season will be starting soon because then at least there will be some relief in sight. If this Mexican sun keeps at it, we might just have to re-visit the good old rain dance ritual. Here's to rainy thoughts!
