From Indi and Maddy...

Hey guys it’s Indi and Maddy! We are having an AMAZING time in Belize! It is soo hot here, but it feels better than the cold weather in South Bend! HAH! Yesterday we left the Jaguar Preserve and came to the Maya Center where we do our service project. We went to the Mayan museum and made tortillas and Indi (me) danced a Mayan dance...(it was a lottt easier than ballet!!) After that, we went to a shrimp farm. We tasted all different kinds of fruits right off the trees that we had never tasted before, and drank coconut juice right out of a coconut!! We found two tarantulas and we held them! We have ALWAYS wanted to do that :) We had the most amazing meal afterwards, with mango juice, shrimp, egg rolls, chicken, beans, watermelon, pineapple, and a lot more! After that we visited the shrimp farms where they feed the shrimp. Then we went to the place we are staying and chose our rooms. Indi and Grace were in one room, and Maddy, Leigh, Nicole, and Erin in the other. The boys got the nicer rooms and we were pretty jealous, and Miss Keim got the Princess Palace (ugh..). Then we played Mafia in the dark and I (Indi) got pretty mad at Rowan and John cause they blamed Mafia on me...and Mr. Hunter was so convinced Mafia was Maddy before she got killed! haha but all in all, it was a pretty awesome day and Belize is sooo amazing. The food is great and we are doing a bunch of stuff that i never thought I’d do!! :) 

Today we woke up and ate breakfast and got dressed really fast so we could work in the St. Jude school before it gets really hot. We got to teach the little 5&6 year olds...they are SOO cute!! The boys wait outside and let the girls go in first to the classrooms...we wish the boys would do that for us instead of poking or tripping us! :/ We painted wood so the termites wouldn’t eat it and it was actually pretty fun because we worked in the shade. The only downside was we forgot to put on our gloves to paint and got it ALL OVER our hands! It was pretty funny trying to get it off :) Then we came back to the Maya Center and ate lunch. Now we are blogging and talking about tattoos and piercings with Miss Keim and John! haha we are LOVING Belize!
