Next 5 weeks!!!

I received my Community Based Training location and it is…BELMOPAN (haha) the same place I have been in for the past week. The difference is I am moving in with a host family and will have language training in…KRIOL. I am very excited to move in with my host family and begin immersing myself in the culture and language. I have not had the opportunity to put pictures up so here it goes.

This is the hotel I have been staying in for the past week.

Here is what my room looked like.

This is a picture of the streets of Belmopan.

This was the Belize House of Culture we visited this past weekend on culture day.

This is the Xununtanich Mayan Ruin sign that I posed with, notice how sweaty I am, it is very HUMID.

El Castillo is the largest pyramid at Xunantunich and second highest structure in Belize. This is before I climbed to the top of the 130ft structure.

This is me at the top of El Castillo-in the distance you can see Guatemala.

This is the view from the other side with Belize and the rest of Xunantunich. It was breath taking up there. I will say that on the way down I had to crawl because I was about to have a panic attack (Family-remember the statue of liberty? Or that other ruin we climbed? It was like that yet again)

This is a monkey in a tree, completely normal…NOT

This is just a little update of my life over the past week. I am planning on giving a full report once I move in today with my host family, I will send updates asap. Miss everyone.
