A few more things we have learned.

Geckos are awesome because they eat multitudes of bugs every night.  We know because it’s like a floor show watching the one that hangs out in the kitchen area.  He is wicked-fast!  I think he knows we are cheering him on and now he is just showing off.  And they are only poisonous if you eat them.  After you see them, I’m pretty sure you won’t want to eat them.  Ugly dudes with grayish skin.

Grilling chicken with the skin on in an unfamiliar grill can lead to a grease fire.  I know because I had to run and get Dennis to help me put it out.  I did save the chicken by peeling off the skin and it was actually pretty good.

There is such a thing as “Belize time”.  Things just happen when they happen.  If something comes up you just roll with it.  Always be prepared to wait…and wait!  If you ever pray to God for patience you may end up in Belize.

Tupperware lids make good hand held fans.

Don’t flip the pump switch off in the dorms.  When you do your shower will be a little tiny trickle.  I shut it off (accidently) just as Dennis was getting in the shower.  Seriously, I didn’t know that it was for the pump.

I also wanted to share my official “Critter Day”! 

When I went down to the main building there were the remains of three lizards that the cat had first played with and then massacred.  It was complete carnage!  Lizard bodies everywhere.

 

Then when I got to school I was helping Ms. Melody clean her room when I picked up a couple of posters that had fallen down.  On the back of one was a Whip Spider.  But I wasn’t totally freaked out because it was dead and stuck to a big piece of tape.

 

Finally, on the way home I stopped to get fresh pineapple at the fruit stand.  I took it home and tore off the big top piece.  I turned to throw it in the trash and when I turned back to the sink there was a scorpion staring at me.  He wasn’t huge but he thought he could take me.  So, after dancing around the spoon that I was trying to flatten him with, he met his demise.  I felt all powerful!

I did see a tucan today for the first time.  It was way off in the distance so I couldn’t get any photos.  But I’ll be there when they come around again!

Totally whupped and ready for a shower.  Going to try to find something good to watch online.  Netfix doesn’t send a lot down this way it seems.

Love you guys!
