When life gives you lemons (or hurricanes), make lemonade!

The teams in northern Belize were moved south to the Cayo district to stay safe from Hurricane Ernesto.  We had some heavy rain for a short time in the evening, but felt no other severe effects at our location.  Since classes were cancelled, we decided to learn more about the culture of this beautiful country with a trip to the Mayan ruins of Xunantunich, only 1 km away from the Guatemalan border.  On our way to the bus, we walked by a playground built by a rotary club, so  we stopped for a photo opportunity.

The ruins were beautiful; they are amazing structures.  We enjoyed a light lunch on the top of Plaza A6, before retreating back down the ruin.  On the way down, we spotted some howler monkeys playing in the trees.

On our way back , we received a phone call indicating that any storm danger has passed and that we would be returning to our respective locations to go back to the real work we came here for - to coach the teachers of Belize in curriculum implementation and technology integration. It is an adventure here!
