Central America Trip II

After getting shuttled to the border by my brother and a long van ride compliments

of Rich's brother, this is what we were greeted with -

Arlen's have built such a nice welcoming house. It was so comfortable to stay in - room for all of us to be

together without feeling too crowded. I really did nothing, except take care of Lucian and help with

food every now and then.

The guys worked on building a handrail and boring stuff like that -

Keturah showing us how to harvest the almonds from their almond tree. Slightly labor intensive.

The girls, naturally, found a bird to protect and keep from the dog

 One morning Keturah took me to the market - wow! wouldn't it be amazing to have that abundance of

fruits and veggies available year round!

It was mango season when we were visiting, so she served us mangoes several times. They were so

yummy! Gabriel especially chowed down on them. She made this really good drink for us to enjoy

while lounging on the front porch. Mangoes and pineapple... mmmhhhh.

They have to take this ferry whenever they want to go somewhere away from town -

 Soon our few days in Guatemala were over and we were on our way to Belize again, this time to our

own little island paradise - Tobacco Caye.

part III to come.
