Belize

---

It was the weirdest thing in the world to cross the boarder into Belize and all the sudden be reading signs in English. We had to adjust to speaking English, although the local language is Garifuna, the people also speak using a sing-song English that is a blast to listen to. The bottom line is that we don't know which language to use.

While here in Belize we plan to spend copious amounts of time on the beach. I am also having a drum handmade by a drum maker here in Dangriga, the town we are at. The drum maker's name is Austin Rodriguez. He has been making drums for 37 years. Mahogany shell and deer skin drum head. Pretty exciting!

Life is slow here in Belize. Nobody is in a hurry...ever. I am wearing a watch and feel entirely out of place. Fortunately I make up for it by walking down the sidewalk at a rate of about 10 steps a minute, just faster than the locals :D

We have spent the last two nights sleeping in a cabana on the beach. We are literally 100 feet from the water. When we arrived to our cabana Sarah walked in and started crying. That made my day. And it made my week. And my month.
