Well I have been working for 2 weeks now and things are going fairly well. This week I didn't get much done because I was doing a Scuba Diving course and I got a tour of the Port Honduras Marine Reserve. The management plan I am working on is for the reserve so its good I was able to check it out. That is where we went diving as well. There are a bunch of Mangrove and Islands out on the ocean. Its really beautiful. Now I am working at the Tour Agency and looking after that for the weekend as well as working on the Management Plan. Sooo, all is well in Punta Gorda. 

Lauren is doing well. Her teaching can be difficult at times because the kids can be little brats and its hard to come up with teaching materials so she is making everything herself. All in all she is learning a lot and 'toughening' up too. 

We have some plans for traveling in the months to come so that is fun to think about. We are going to go to Antigua in Guatemala for Easter Break. I guess it is amazing there. They make these red carpets that fill the streets and march down them with crosses screaming and crying. Pretty crazy stuff. It would be amazing to see. Lauren gets 2 weeks off of school so that is why we want to go. After the trip we want to go to Mexico City. We are not that far and plane tickets within Mexico are cheap apparently. I have always wanted to visit Mexico City and travelers tell us that it is amazing to see and there is so much culture there. 

Well that is all for now. Chau!

A little taste of one of the islands, Ambergris Caye. It was so nice. Just off this island we did a tour and went snorkeling with Sting Rays and Nurse Sharks. 

In Belize

Well Lauren and I are in Belize now. We actually just arrived in PG (Punta Gorda) today and got our apartment. It is nice and little. Just what we need. It is right on the ocean as well. We have a hammock overlooking it on the balcony. 

We had an amazing week with Dave and Chels on the islands of Belize. First we spend the first 3 nights on Ambergris Caye and spend New Years there and then we went to Caye Caulker. We shared our hostels and that was a blast. We snorkeled, biked, drank, and relaxed. The weather was amazing as well. Couldn't have asked for a better trip with them. We left them today which was sad but all good things must come to an end. 

Anyway, we are heading to get some water and food for the apartment. Hope everyone is well. Lauren and I both start work on Monday so I will keep you updated. We are both a little nervous but excited.
