Hola hola!
Pues, I've been having some internet connectivity/time issues lately, so I haven't been able to do the necessary file swapping/cutting & pasting/publishing necessary to keep my blog up to date. I finally posted today, but it's a lot to read.
Thus, find the short version of a big week below (see posts on the right for the full versions). Also notice that I gave up trying to publish in descending order because it was archiving the posts weird. So you kinda gotta work your way backwards.
Summary:
Last week Elodia took me to meet the Deaf students I'll be working with in another school district. I'm looking forward to getting started next week.
Nancy's supervisors from Virginia Mennonite Missions were here this week (Gloria and Galen Lehman), which was a fun time. On Monday, Nancy taught and I went w/ the Lemans to take a boat to the Mayan ruins not too far from here, as well as to do some bird spotting. (List of sights seen posted separately).
Tuesday the three of them went to San Pedro for a bit of a retreat, and I got the chance to go w/ Nancy's class on a field trip to Belize City as a sub of sorts. Wednesday I also subbed in Nancy's room (it was a half day), and it was a fun adventure.
Thursday was Election Day so there was no school. Nancy and I took Gloria and Galen to the airport, and then lounged around the house. And today was We Won the Election Day so everyone was rallying, and there was no school either. So what did we do today? Why, went to Mexico of course:). Woohoo, new country! It was a great time. We didn't do touristy stuff and it was a quick trip across the border but it was a really relaxing afternoon. Elton, one of the older guys from the Deaf church (well, I think he goes to the Jehovah Witness church now, but anyway) came with us, which was fun.
And now it's time for Girl's Night, so I'm off.
Oh, we made a stop at Office Depot and got a mic for the computer, as well as a new printer for Nancy, so Skyping is a possibility now.
Hope all is well, much love!

Hilary!! You have some amazing experiences recorded here; and you've already been places i've not yet seen!
I wish I could go down and visit before you leave. If you want some places to stay in Belize City when you have some time off, or out at St. George's Caye, or if you want to spend some time in Cahal Pech/San Ignacio, i think i can hook you up.
Comprehensive victory for the UDP. I hear everything is cool, as usual, after the election. hope you have many positive experiences.
Guess I don't have to tell you to keep posting. I keep in touch.
Viva la Barna, Ciaocito.
