Tour of the Parliament building

We finally visited the inside of that huge building I keep posting pictures of. The Parliament building! The inside is just as impressive as the outside.

A Soggy Day in Guatemala

Image
For our final stop in Belize, we traveled to San Ignacio to explore some Mayan ruins. Our first excursion however, took us out of Belize and all the way across the border to Guatemala to Tikal, which are some of the biggest Mayan ruins in Central America. Getting there took two and half hours driving through the countryside, but it was a beautiful countryside with plenty to be in awe of, so the time passed quickly. Just a bit of blue skies and rolling hills Although the day started off looking beautiful, by the time we had pulled into the parking lot to begin our tour, the rain had started. What began as a light fading drizzle soon turned into a tropical thunderstorm, with the sky dropping buckets of rain with no end in sight. But it was tour time and none of us were deterred, so with a few ponchos and muster we weren't about to let a little rain get in the way of our day. There be jaguars in these parts We're a lot wetter than we look This is de...

A Day in Pecs

Image
Yesterday I spent the day in Pecs, Hungary with Charlotte. It was nice, relaxing day, though the weather could have been a little better. Let's see, to start we visited a cute park: Then we visited a building that used to be a post office, but the highlight of the building is the beautiful roof, recommended for us to see by Charlotte's mother. Then we walked down the Citrom, or "Lemon" Street Another pretty roof :) The square of the synagogue Pecs has a famous porcelain exhibit and is known for the awesomely cool looking green porcelain In the main square there was  huge horse statue! It was a part of some exhibit or another, but we thought it was just interesting to have a massive horse statue sitting off center in the main square. After lunch, we visited the porcelain museum: Next we visited a basilica, The Decepticons are here. They know our secrets. Statue of famou...

Although my six weeks as a volunteer is over, the fun isn't. My family is visiting for another week, which means the adventures can continue! To kick it off, Connor and mom expedited themselves out to Caye Caulker to get jump start on our diving. They had already been in Belize city for a few days prior, along with my aunt, uncle and dad. Reunion! Look how tan I am I had booked a hostel room for the night, since I had packed up and left base camp, and while I could sleep in it comfortably, with the three of us, it was cozy. Its not a shed, its my room But it did the job. I showed them around a small part of the island to find food before heading off to bed. The next morning I introduced them to fry-jacks, aka best food ever invented on earth. If you're hip to mennonite cuisine, it was like a kroler, but savory, and filled with cheese and eggs and chicken. And oh my gosh yum. Plus they only cost 2$, so I couldn't say no. Safe to say I had consumed my all...
