Well...I made it!

Here I am, sitting in the computer lab of Mt. Carmel High School in Benque, Belize. I'm finally here and this adventure has finally started! Travels went just splendidly, despite lack of sleep and a student of psychology, working on his master's degree, who decided to impart 2 hours of his knowledge to everyone within 5 rows of his seat on the plane. My ride back from Belize City back to Benque didn't now I was coming (despite the travel itinerary I passed on weeks go), but thankfully I travelled with Molly and Sean, who did have travel plans. After our 2.5 hour ride to Benque, we were introduced to the principle of the school and shown to our houses. Well in short, our house is beautiful. I feel spoiled in such a nice house, which surpassed all of my expectations. After eating my first meal at the rectory with Jonathan, Molly, Sean and Brynne, we came back to the house and discovered that our water was not hooked up...Needless to say that after 2 unclean days and walking in very humid weather, I am sticky and smelly. No one but the flies have mentioned anything yet.

Well, off to my second meal of rice and beans. Peace out, ya'll!
