Our day started with a early morning low mist  hanging just above our Base camp and as I listened to the orchestra of roosters, car sirens, dogs barking, kids crying and the rumble of loose mufflers, I was again reminded of how lucky I am not only to be here in Belize but to have lived the life I have..... It didnt take long before the sun beat the fog and we were back with the sunshine on our faces. We headed out to cotton tree church which is Belmopan's  Nazerene church.. It's a simple church along the humingbird hiway and is lead by a sweet man and his wife..  5 years ago the church was roofless and small... It has expanded into a very simple yet beautiful place to worship, pastor joe had always wanted a preschool in the back quarters and got his dream within the last year as a california church made the vision into a reality. Church was sweet and simple and full of Love!,, the entire church sang happy birthday to Josh and clapped  and prayed for him. On tues we will be assisting the california team complete an outside gathering/ worship/ play area..the california team has been her for all of lastmweek and this. .we are looking forward to working along side them to complete and finish this project After church we headed out to belize City to catch the watertaxie to Caye caulker..Caye Caulker is a tiny island about an hour boat ride across the carribian sea. ....at parts this island meets the barrier reef and it is known for is incrediable diving and snorkeling waters.The island is a mile long and 3 streets wide when standing at one end of the street at the waterside and looking to the other side of the street you can see water:-) We arrived shortly after 3 to find that most of the cute little cabanas( where the kids and I will be staying in couple weeks) and sea view rooms were full, we made our way down a block or so and ran into a guy promising a clean afforable room...we paid $30 for our rooms and without complaining we becamem very gtateful and a little homesick for basecamp:-) we finished our day with a stroll along " mainstreet the kids got their feet wet and we filled on fresh caught grouper and shrimp cevechie...tommarow we will hit the " cafe amore" for breakfaxt  and some coffee,  our plan is to hit the beach and explore what lurks under the sea... I am up writing this at midnight as I just went to use the rest room and stepped on a gigantic cockroach!,, unfortunatly Ava woke to the racket of me pummeling this roach to death with my flipper... Now I have a bedmate:-) Our day started with a early morning low mist  hanging just above our Base camp and as I listened to the orchestra of roosters, car sirens, dogs barking, kids crying and the rumble of loose mufflers, I was again reminded of how lucky I am not only to be here in Belize but to have lived the life I have.....
