As we entered Guatemala, several of these carts passed us.
And truckloads of oil palm fruit.
This picture was taken at our hotel in Guatemala.
Time to go to Belize! And by boat this time!

Everyone enjoyed the ride across the border-waters.

Especially Matthew, who was allowed to drive for a while.

Morning devotions before our long walk from the hotel, to the immigration office.
This man pulled up in his truck, climbed out and waded out into the ocean to swim for a few moments to cool off--clothes, shoes and all!--before going on his way again.
Children playing on the beach outside our hotel room.
What Matthew refferd to as, "weed beds". As he dog-paddled his way along, he would invariably get stuck in the long grass and would cry out to Hannah, "Quick, I'm stuck! Come save me! Quick! I'm stuck in a weed-bed!!!"
Hannah is most photogenic, including when in the water!
One night, the kids fooled around taking pictures,

Our hotel room was very, VERY nice.
The children quickly made new friends. :)
This is the town's "light-post". That's right, it's their version of a light-house.
Where we waited on Chris while he loked for a cheap hotel.
We were looking forward to going here, but alas, it was closed when we arrvied,
One night, the kids fooled around taking pictures,with Amanda's camera,
on a slow shutter speed.
Paul would stand still for about 3 seconds
before moving or ducking,
leaving behind a transparent copy of himself.
They got a great kick out of this.

Our hotel room was very, VERY nice.It had real wooden furniture!
A bed-stead, a real recliner! a hanging mirror on the wall and a lamp!

Poor Matthew was soo tired, after waiitng to leave Belize, that he fell asleep.And then it was once again for home :)
Upon the arrival of which, Hannah announced that our house had,
in our absence,
become a "frog-house" !
because of all the toad droppings we found everywhere.
The toads and frogs come in through this gap between the door and the wall
---leaving a trail behind them.
Amanda kindly photographed it so we could post it here for y'all to see. :)
cool pix!!!!!!!...everyone and everything ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, man, Gabi! The boat ride was EVERYTHING! After such a looong, hot day of walking and carrying the luggage, I was soo disappointed and weary and asking God why we always had to go through such tribulations just to renew our passports in order to do the work that He has us doing here--and whaddya know, but He sent us a BOAT RIDE!!! Oh, MAN! The first ride, on the way to Belize, was nice, but definitely LEISURELY. However, the SECOND boat ride, on the wasy BACK to Guatemala, was A RIDE TO REMEMBER!! The driver put the lever to the limit!! It was sooooooo much fun!!! I laughed almost the entire hour!! My jaws hurt some so much grinning, once we got to shore. =) God is sooo good--he sends us boat rides to RIDE OUT THE STORM ON!!!!! WOOHoooooooo! ;)
