Paige: Well, we just returned from horseback riding through the jungle. It was great!! I had a brown horse called Sampson. He took great care of me...we went a little on the slow side, but I definitely didn't mind. We went down a few steep muddy hills. One of which I was pretty sure I was going to fly over the top of Sampson's head because his hoof got caught on a root. It was a tad scary...but it was a great experience. So far everyone has been so nice and grateful that we're hear to help. Since we arrived yesterday, we have been taking it easy. We got a short tour of Belmopan by Joel, Damaris and Brian. We went to a wooden swinging bridge which I wasn't really comfortable going across, but I eventually made it halfway. The spaces between the slats were at least a few inches wide! And, with Brian running across it, it was definitely swinging to its limits. Before we went on the bridge, Lisa and I almost stepped on a tarantula...but I got pictures! We made it to the middle (almost) and came back, but then we were told that there were parrots up in the trees and we needed to come back to the middle to see them. So we slowly edged back to the middle and...we couldn't see the parrots so we went back to the end. Well, then they called us back because there were monkeys in the tree! So again, we went back to the middle. We DID see the monkeys and I took a few good pictures. Unfortunately, we don't have any of the pictures up yet because the computer is slow with downloading. But, we hope to get some up soon.
Well, it's dinner time here so we gotta go...the cook, Yvette, is the best! Love you all!

Paige. Sounds like a great day.
I am anxious to hear about the clinic and what you guys are dealing with. What a wonderful thing to be able to treat the needs of the sick without the threat of litigation.
Please encourage Linda to send an e-mail or blog. We are looking forward to hearing from her.
We Belize in you....
