Moving on...



The rainy season feels like it is finally here. Most afternoons, the heat is temporarily diminished with a powerful downpour that sometimes leaves parts of the town "without current". Today, on our last afternoon in San Ignacio, we took a leisurely stroll through Santa Familia Village with Westby and her two lovely daughters. After our walk, we returned to her childhood home for dinner - interestingly this is where we enjoyed our first meal in Belize after arriving over 2 weeks ago. Saying goodbye was emotional but we leave feeling fulfilled by the relationships we have made and looking forward to our upcoming adventures.





After our last night shift in the ER, we decided that we deserved a celebratory beverage :) On our first evening in San Ignacio, George (Westby's husband) bounded out of a shop handing us two beers for the road complete with straws. Since that night, it has seemed inappropriate to enjoy an adult beverage with out the requisite popote!

This is just a quick post to inform everyone that we are leaving Belize tomorrow morning to enter Guatemala where we will stay in the island town of Flores and venture to the Mayan ruins of Tikal. Our plan is to stay there through Thursday when we will return to Belize and head to the Caribbean coast. Although we are excited about our trip, it is hard to leave all the great people we have met here. So, it is with a spirit of adventure that we depart and set off on this next journey.
