Monday morning trip to town with Romalda to pay bills. The electric bill is paid at the bank, but you have to go to the BWS to pay the water bill, BTL to pay the phone bill, and then to another bank to pay her son's tuition for Jr. College. It was over an hour of standing in lines. I sneaked a photo of just a portion of the line at one of the banks. I'm sure there was over hour wait - probably 30 people total in this winding line that filled the lobby. People just wait patiently. Romalda was fortunate that they opened a separate line for those making tuition payments.
Tonight we were invited for dinner (salbutes) at the Nah home in Cristo Rey. Hilario, someone we got to know on one of our first trips to Belize is now a proud grandfather! He is a cane farmer, but also works as a night watchman at the clinic. We always enjoy our time with this dear family. The youngest daughter is going into Third Form at Cornerstone this fall. She has always had one of the biggest smiles in Belize!
Danai, the mother of this cute little boy, was one of our students back in 2004-05.
Dale went to school with Albert this morning and spent time under the shade trees working on re-arranging how to proceed with his seminars.
We had our first opportunity to walk around Corozal town this afternoon - to go into some of the stores, and to get Dale's stock of hot sauce.
