Today is our last day in Belize. We cleaned up, moved beds out, and returned the key to the house. The house has been a great place for us this last month, although I admit we spent a good portion of our time at Jessica's outdoor kitchen swinging in the hammock.
We packed our bags into the back of Oscar's Chevy Nova and headed north to Corozal for the day. This probably takes the cake for the most dangerous thing we've done on our vacation- eight people, including two little ones, crammed into a chevy nova without car seats or seat belts driving on the highway in the rain. Life on the edge. ;)
Sadly, it was dumping rain when we arrived so we had to get some tacos and patties. Yum! Then we tried some souvenir shops, played with sunglasses, admired the stacks of amazingly huge cooking pots, and found great T-Shirts that say "You Better Belize It!"
Luckily, the rain stopped and we went to the ocean to take geeky Belize tourist pics. It was nice to hang out all day with Oscar and Jessica away from the shop. We stopped by Oscar's mom's house (check out HER cauldron!)on the way to the border.
The girls (and Jessica) have been feeling a little feverish today, so after saying a sad goodbye to our friends and Belize, we crossed into Mexico and found a hotel in Chetumal. Early to bed tonight, tomorrow our journey continues. I still can't believe we are headed home (to snow!)
Tonight I give thanks for this amazing experience. I am grateful I had this opportunity to travel with my children. I am grateful for all the things I have learned and practiced. I am thankful for the new perspective I've gained. I am grateful for Oscar and Jessica for their friendship. I am grateful for everyone in San Antonio Rio Hondo, the kids, the families, who were so welcoming to us. We love you. You have changed our lives forever and you will always be in our hearts.
Thank you.
