Welcome to Belize!

We finally made it, and its hot.

If you haven't heard: the first group, who left Saturday, had to sit on a plane for around 12 hours up in the air. We flew from San Diego to Dallas without a problem, and took off from Dallas without a problem, too. Although when we tried to land in Belize, we experienced some turbulence that put us a little off course, where we ended up in Cancun. Our day ends with the first group having to fly back to Dallas, and having to stay at the Comfort Inn (where we got a lovely discount) and meeting up with the second group at the Dallas Airport.

Walking out of the plane in Belize was like walking into a sauna and even though it was a cooler day out for Belize, our team was sweating bullets.

We took a bus from Belize City to Corozal which was definitely the fun part of the day. Everyone was glued to the windows, searching the trees for birds and monkeys and other exotic creatures. Even though it was raining, all of us had our heads out the sides, enjoying every minute.

Both teams arrived at the  wonderful Maya World Guest House, where we dropped off our loads, and walked straight to the church service, followed by an authentic Belizean dinner. When we got back to the hotel, I'm sure everyone was excited to jump in the cold showers (I know I was) and rinse off. The night ends with tired faces, and anxious minds ready to get to work tomorrow.
