Safe and Sound

Great Googly Moogly we made it! We are all officially in Punta Gorda, Belize. The trip started off well. We actually left on time....which shocked me!......and headed toward Miami. I have no idea what the flight was like because I slept throughout the entire flight! We were all running on fumes so we all basically slept or watched the in flight movie. When we got to Miami we all camped out on a set of chairs and hunted down food. Our last "American" meal was Pizza Hut! We all got comfortable, read books, and chatted about the next upcoming months. We then boarded again and headed out to Belize City. When we got Belize City we were so happy to feel the warm air! It was great! We headed through customs and sat in yet another sitting area, waiting for our puddle hopper. Oh the puddle hopper! It was so much fun and we had three stops. By the time we landed in Punta Gorda the sun was almost set.

The fun really started when we got to Punta Gorda. We were met by a man named Ceasar. Celia is the woman in charge of the operation on the Belize end and Ceasar is her brother. Celia is not in town so she had her brother pick us up. He knew very little of what was supposed to be happening.....we had no idea.....together we were all clueless. As my luck goes.....they had no idea who I was.....AWESOME......so figuring out where I was supposed to stay for the weekend proved interesting. Ceasar was very nice and told me not to worry about it.....Mi casa es su casa! I am staying at Celia's place with two classmates until we figure out what else to do. The three of us had dinner with Ceasar and pestered him with questions. After dinner we wanted to take a walk to see more of Punta Gorda. Ceaser took us around town and we ended up at the Upstairs Lounge and played some pool and drank a beer.

Tomorrow we plan on going to the schools and going to the market. I'm anxious to see what else we will see tomorrow! Night all.....I need sleep!
