January 3, 2014. Traveling from Belmopan to San Ignacio

January 3, 2014. Traveling from Belmopan to San Ignacio.

Today started off with breakfast at the Bullfrog Hotel and continued back to The University of Belize. We continued to work on our presentations for the Stella Maris school next week. We were fortunate enough to go back to The Oasis for another delicious lunch. The food there is so amazingly good and the lady that owns the restaurant is very welcoming to all her guests. After lunch, we stopped by the Kings Children's Home, an orphanage that we brought school supplies and materials to. Upon arrival, the children were loading into a bus to head off to a field trip for the day. We collaboratively decided to reschedule our time with them on Sunday. It was exciting to get a sneak peek of the children and they were curious about us. 

After leaving the orphanage, we drove out to San Ignacio for the weekend. The drive was a sight to see with so many houses that looked abandoned, but were actually occupied. Most of the houses had all the windows and doors open, which gave the impression that the houses don't have air conditioning or don't use them often. We saw a lot of clothing lines being used as dryers. We arrived at The Log Cab-Inn which had several cabins to stay in. The Inn has a sense of tranquility and peace. It's perfect to just sit outside your room and enjoy nature. We even got to see a spider spinning a web and various dogs exploring the premises. Our day ended with dinner at a small, popular restaurant that didn't have air conditioner. The food was definitely good. Today was a good day.
