The Easter activities at the library came to an end with an easter egg hunt on Wednesday afternoon. The children really enjoyed it and our students were able to use the hours toward their service project.
On Wednesday, Dr. Paul, our consultate from Wilmington to Belize, invited us to his home north on the island. He has a condo here and spends holidays and summers here. We ate cheeseburgers, french fries, and ice cream sundaes. All were a welcome treat after several weeks of Belizian food-many plates of stewed chicken, beans and rice. Although that is good, it was nice to eat something different. Everyone had a good time at his house, dancing and singing. We took a water taxi to and from the dock in San Pedro.
I went to Caye Calker on Thursday. Caye Calker is a small town on another island and looks like San Pedro did many years ago. There are no paved streets and few golf carts. The pace is slow and the water is beautiful. There were many street vendors with beautiful jewelry to sell.
This week came to an end with a water shortage. A new housing development on the island is dredging and causing the water filters to need replacing sooner than expected. This weekend is the busiest tourist time of the year. It is very crowded in downtown San Pedro this weekend. Most businesses were closed yesterday for Good Friday and will be closed for Easter Monday as well. Many of us plan to attend the Easter service at the Catholic Church downtown tomorrow morning. It is on the beach.

Hey Susan, It sounds like you are having a great trip. I am jealous of all the snorkeling you are getting to do. I would probably have major motion sickness issues with all the boats, river taxis, etc! I would love to see a catholic mass there!
