Sensory Overload!!!

Well wow, we are certainly here and trying to get settled a bit.. Foodshopping has been an experience!! One that only a couple of American Women I know, (you know who you are), would actually choose to do this.. But it's amazing what you can do, if you give it a try. I keep looking at Ron and saying, boy, you know I love you.. Turns out our "Luxury house rental," isn't so luxury.. Missing a few things!! Like, anything for kitchen, ac, except for our one bedroom out of the four, (so mom and dad, don't book those tickets yet!) However, up here in the moutains, we have quite a nice breeze for a normal person :) The people we rented from say, "These things we have requested - like bowls, a colander, dsl, are on the way today, but that can mean anything and we knew that already.." Belize runs slow,, hard to get used to, we'll see... But on the other hand, I walked through a natural butterfly farm to get here just now,, too cool... Have some good pictures of the Market that runs here in San Ignacio, for local fresh vegetables, fish, meats, and other items.. Very neat if you can handle the sun..
The kids are having a ball,, lots of sounds, smells, sights, very different for them, and us..
The cats have finally come out of hiding and are alright.. The bites on my arm will go away in time, (after our ordeal of getting oreo in the carrier!)

You're so funny! Glad the cats are ok! I'd give just about anything to be shopping in the San Ignacio market today...it's so fabulous!

As far as the "luxury" house goes...I assumed it would NOT be as advertised...you'll probably be shopping for a less expensive rental soon! Call Ruby's friend John at Century 21!

But at least for now you can use the hotel's pool, etc...that is good for the transition period!

I have no doubts that you'll adjust! Pretend you're on vacation! I'm smililng ear-to-ear! love to you all. ~B~

Wow! You made it! I am so proud of you (and a wee bit jealous). Also glad the cats are ok. I was wondering how they would make the trip. Will continue to check in on you and may even give you a call after you've had more time to settle in.
Also smiling from ear-to-ear with Barbara. :)
