June Highlights

I cannot believe it is already JULY! I have been in Belize now for over 10 months...CRAZY. I have not been the best blogger recently. In order to make up for it, here are some highlights from the wonderful month of June 2010:

• I returned from Hawaii
• Read 5 books
• Finished our (Christine, Kristen and I) After School Reading Group
• Discovered a scorpion on my toothbrush, he had a short life
• Began REALLY studying for the Foreign Service Officer Exam (it's in October) also registered for it
• Watched and heard lots of talk about the World Cup (futbol is HUGE here)
• Rainy season is here to stay, I LOVE IT. I sleep so well when it's raining outside
• Ate 1/2 a watermelon in a day...it's the season and it was just so good
• Practiced hurricane consolidation (all peace corps volunteers must travel to Belmopan) to prepare for hurricane season
• 1 day later the beginning of Hurricane Season, Tropical Storm Alex (turned into Hurricane Alex) swept right over Belize
• For the first time I baked banana muffins from scratch 

I am very much looking forward to July, Irene is coming next Tuesday. I am sure we will have some awesome adventures.

Raining while the sun was out-I love these types of moments
