Day five out at Tobacco Caye


This is our fifth day in Belize and what a day it has been.  We had a wonderful breakfast with our hosts, we said our good byes and departed Maya Center.  On our way out of town, we stopped by St. Jude School one last time to say good buy to all the kids and sign our work.  What a magnificent building the library will be once it is finished by the village volunteers.  We boarded the bus and headed off to Dangriga, where we caught our water taxi to Tobacco Caye.  
The ride was a little wet, as the water was choppy but we made it safe and sound.  Once we got settled in, we took a tour of the island with our guide Donald, who works for Tobacco Caye Marine Station. A short while after our lunch, we dawned our snorkeling gear and went around the island, looking at different grasses and the coral reef around Tobacco Caye.  Tomorrow we will take a boat to various islands and explore our snorkeling technique even more!

I can't wait to really see the pictures you posted. Mary & I are on a jaunt to meet up with Cookie, who is very lonely, and we're in a sold out hotel with half an Internet connection. I think I can relate to your technology issues. I love everyone's posts, I hope there are more journals and reflections from all of you when you get home that can be shared with everyone. Your collective observations are so beautiful and provide a glimpse of your individual wit, wisdom, and joie de vive for all you've taken upon yourselves to accomplish.

Tell Garrick I did post a comment on his last blog. He needs to truly consider his experience and give us a great post from his perspective. Maybe if time is short and his typing is slow he can ask the fastest typer to fill in for his fingers.
