My life has settled into full-time work at Mary Open Doors--serving women and children--and routines of going to the market, day-to-day living, etc. Sunday was cool and a bit rainy so I decided to search for the Belize Botanical Gardens that is about 10 miles from my home; first a short bus ride and then what turned out to be a very long walk. I never made it (will try using transportation next time) but found two interesting things: a Maya Air Park (local airport?) and spectacular scenary. Pretty amazing what the Maya have done. More to follow. One exciting new thing is a group of local residents has organized a Book Club; we had our first meeting at my home and it was very lively trying to pick books--a few folks have kindles and more are on the way: Our first book is Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Given the role of religion in Belize this should be a very interesting discussion.
