Well today was our last day in Belize. Since yesterday was our last day to go to the school, today we all got to go into the city of Placencia to see what most tourists see when they visit Belize. The bus ride took only about 20 minutes and when we arrived, we all had the chance to walk around at all the touristy shops, and we even got to stop at a really good gelato shop. After spending more time shopping and walking around, we all went to enjoy a nice beach-front lunch at a different resort down in Placencia that included typical Belizian food-- rice and beans and chicken. After lunch we all returned to the resort where we had the rest of the day to relax and do whatever we wanted. Some slept, others chilled by the pool, some played volleyball and some participated in a mini-traithalon.
The triathlon consisted of a 150 yard swim, a beach run, and a kayak loop out to the reef barrier and back. Representing the guys were Curt and Peter, and representing the girls were Bonnie, Callie, and Amanda, plus Emily, Casey, and Stephanie joined in for the run portion. It was tons of fun and results are as follows: In first we had Curt (with age comes speed apparently), Peter (determined to pass Curt unsuccessfully), the beastly Bonnie, Callie, and Amanda.
In all, we just want to say thank you to everyone who supported us through prayer and all the other ways that made it possible to come on this trip. We'll see you when we get home tomorrow, and we'll have TONS of awesome God-stories to tell!!!
Beastly Bonnie... I love it :)
