Here is a catch-up post on one of our travels outside of Panama in the last several months. 

In July of 2022 we traveled to Belize. We needed to make a Visa trip - where you leave your base country for a few days and return to have your visa renewed.  We have several churches and friends in Belize so that became our destination. We enjoyed lots of tasty food and fellowship while there and Gary got in some good preaching as well.  It's always such a blessing to be able to spend time with other co-laborers.❤

My first impression of Belize was when we landed at the little airport. It was like going back in time. I felt like I was in an Agatha Christie Poirot novel (sans the murder thankfully), when the plane door opened and a ladder was wheeled up to the plane for us to disembark and walk across the tarmac to the immigration office. The path was lined with smiling employees welcoming us to Belize - and assuring we didn't run off into the jungle I guess instead of going into immigration. 😆

 

Belize is a beautiful country and we enjoyed our slightly working holiday exploring Belize City, San Ignacio, Dangriga and Belmopan cities. Being a small country, all of these cities were conveniently in driving distance over mostly well maintained roads and the occasional ferry.

                                                         Having fun on the suspension bridge. 

                 San Ignacio was my favorite town...it felt like a combination of British colonial and Mexico. 

At some point during our visit, Gary was convinced to join the local Pastor's gang of Cocobolos (baldheads). He went into this fine establishment and for $2 got his head shaved! He looks so good with it that he's kept it ever since!❤

My ONE request while we were in Belize was to visit one of the pyramids. Somehow 'somebody' decided I'd be happy with a fake tourist pyramid. I was not... but the next visit I'll try to be more specific.😝

The view was gorgeous though!😊

That's about it for Belize...next stop will be our trip to Costa Rica. Stay tuned!❤
