IM HERE! IN BELIZE!

PEOPLE. I made it!! I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. I want to let y'all know that I absolutely love it! I can tell that I'm going to fall in love with people here. They are so wonderful! 
I'll give you a little info on what I've been up to...

I’ve been put in charge of an awesome project and a local high school. We’re going to build long lasting garden beds. The teachers have agreed to sell the fruit/vegetables we grow in order to provide lunch money for low-income students. I LOVE IT! I’m definitely using some of my Classic Landscape knowledge for this baby. I’ll keep y’all updated on our progress.

Today we decided to hit up the town of Succotz to visit the Mayan ruin called Xunantunich. It was so awesome!! I love ruins! The whole time I felt like I was in the movie UP aka I felt like I was Russell at paradise falls! Afterwards we went to a local restaurant to eat. I ate some yummy yummy fried fish. Probs the best I’ve had. No joke. I loved the town of Succotz. It was so small. Also, EVERYONE spoke Spanish! I love speaking Spanish. 
The street we live on

beautiful Xunantunich!

Last thing. The belize people have THE BEST hot sauce. It's the perfect blend of hot and flavorful! 


ALSO SHOUT OUT TO ALL OF THE WONDERFUL MOTHERS OUT THERE! MOM I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!


Hasta luego!

  1. Sounds so nice! If you need any ideas on the gardening front let me know and your Dad built me my garden bed in the back from his own blueprint...no garden bed in a box for us!

    Thanks for the lovely card, it really made my day!
    Love ya!
