We help them make the appetizers for the dinner tonight and then the noodle salad for lunch. The kitchen is blazing hot (no air conditioning) and Kurt and I take frequent water breaks to the cooler air conditioned dinning room. These ladies are troopers. They work in a hot kitchen, long hours, away from their families and they do it with an amazing attitude. Raw chicken has never been so much fun! I enjoy learning about their lives, families and culture. Such an enriching experience.
This afternoon we nap, read and swim on the beach.
Tonight at dinner, I realized I forgot the cheese in the appetizers. The ladies had to re-do all the ones that I helped them with this morning. I am sure they got a chuckle out if it but cursed under their breaths.
After dinner we head out on a crocodile night watching tour with some other guests. What a cool experience. We end up seeing a few and Kurt manages to grab one of their tails. The scene reminds me of something out of a show on the Everglades.
While we are out on the boat, we watch a storm on the mainland. What a cool experience to be on the back side of the storm. Very magical indeed!
Unbelizeable Belize Vacation!
