Black Rock


In addition to gardening, getting to know each other, and learning about Belize, this week students got to play in the beautiful Macal River. We started by grabbing tubes and trekking up to Vaca Falls where we swam for a little while. Tyler wasn't satisfied with just swimming though, so he decided to get swept over the falls into the pools below. Luckily, he conquered the falls and not the other way around. After that excitement, everyone got to relax a little for the tube ride downstream. During the float, entertainment was provided by looking at birds, getting poured on, and Pete's tube-tipping service. A little better than sitting in class in 30 degree weather, eh?

Colin and Heather are loving this photo of Jesse chillin' in the rain. Heather, his 9 yr old sister, says "No fair!" Colin, his 14 yr old brother, says "Looks like he's in heaven." Heather did wonder if there are crocodiles in the river there that might grab him by the dreads.

Hey Jesse, Is that you?

Sounds like wonderful people and great times you are having. Put in your application now so you can get a job there someday. Might as well get paid for doing what you love.

If you need the bird book, I can send it if it would get there safely.

Love, Gramma and Grampa
