Going for a walk with some of the wonderful children in Belize. My sister is in the purple dress, my brother is in the orange/white polo and I’m the shortie in the middle.

So, I picked up a book at the thrift store earlier today and found these cool stamps from Belize inside! Sweet.

I am going to pretend I am still here.

Someone asked me that the other day. I wanted to be like, go to my tumblr page, I talk about my beliefs there… BUT first rule of tumblr dont speak of tumblr.

haha. I feel like I keep having to explain myself. Which, I guess since it is something I believe in whole heartily it is okay. No I am not a Christian. Though, that doesnt mean I dont have a faith or believe in something… (I talk about it more specifically in some of my other posts). I am going on a mission trip, because I truly enjoy helping others. I feel that one of the best ways to repay this world that you live on is to take time and help others.

No I am not spreading the word of Christ. BUT I am spreading the word of love. I am going on a mission trip because it was a way in which that I was able to help others.

I respect the Christian religion and their beliefs as I would like them to respect mine. My own beliefs aren’t too far off but I dont dismiss any religion as being wrong… like I said earlier… I believe God, and religion are too much for one person to be able to understand. There are many religions with many different interpretations. I feel each religion holds a piece of the truth, sort of like a puzzle piece, each one, if we set aside our differences, can unlock the truth to reveal something bigger.

But anyway (: My trip to Belize is in, T MINUS 9 DAYS! woop woop. Passport, check. Raised funds, check.

Ready to see those little rugrats! And maybe use the powersaw (; I am pretty good at that

Eyes in the Sky, Belize on Flickr.

This is the view as I swim in our pool. Amazing! Last night we went to a Canucks bar and cheered for the Bruins! We even made new friends in spite of it!

today was a really relaxing day and just perfect to unwind and get ready to leave.

“Mmmm. Big city. Overgrown with weeds, but flowering weeds. On every corner a wrecking crew and something new and crooked going up catty corner to that. Windows missing in every edifice like broken teeth, gritty wind, and a gray high sky full of ravens.

“Prophet birds, Roy. Piles of trash, but lapidary like rubies and obsidian, and diamond-colored cowspit streamers in the wind. And voting booths. And everyone in Balenciaga gowns with red corsages, and big dance palaces full of music and lights and racial impurity and gender confusion. And all the deities are creole, mulatto, brown as the mouths of rivers. Race, taste and history finally overcome. And you ain’t there.”

Well… we made it! Just a fun picture taken by the Captain of the plane. Hanging out in Belize City for a day or two. Then… who knows?

Thinking back on some of my favorite dive vacations.  Belize was definitely a great one.   We stayed at Light House Reef Resort in Belize.  When the small plane that took us there landed this is what we saw.
