San Ignacio Weekend.

Things I did today:

-Went ziplining in the rainforest. Pretty cool.
-Went cave tubing. Awe inspiring.
-Ate termites. They taste like mint.
-Held a wild tarantula.
-Saw a small species of Toucan.d

Tomorrow we are heading a little further south to some great looking Mayan ruins called Xunantunich (Shoe-nan-to-nitch). After the ruins we will head back towards Corozal and stop at the Belize Zoo. We are all definitely excited, and the zoo is an amazing facility where we will see many interesting species of animals!

Thursday was Thanksgiving. It was an interesting experience being away from everyone for the first time too. While everyone was at Grandma and Papaw's house eating, I was at school working, and for my lunch I ate empanadas instead of turkey and dressing. The empanadas were great! Thursday night Marga's mom cooked us some food for a small T-giving surprise and it was really good too. Unfortunately, it made 3 out of the 4 of us super sick for some reason yesterday. So on one of our great days off we laid around the apartment paralyzed with stomach pain. Bummer.

Next week with school I'm teaching science and language arts to the kids. It will be an interesting and quick four days I'm sure. Friday morning, early, we head out on a boat then to San Pedro for our last weekend trip. When we return late Sunday night we'll only have three more days of teaching and then we're back home! I can't believe things are flying by so quickly! It'll be road trip time before long!
