This has been a week for friends and socializing. Last weekend we drove up to Corozal for good friend, Donna's birthday party. It was her 50th but she looks 25 and partied like she was 18! Great fun! Lots of people there so we had a chance to meet up with a bunch of Corozal friends. The party was at the Bamboo Beach Resort in the small town of Copper Bank. A Canadian from Whitecourt, Joe, is building it. We haven't seen it since last March and we were so impressed by the progress. What a wonderful time. Thanks to Donna (for turning 50!) and Joe for being such a great host.
While there we spent the night with Rick and Linda. They have a really nice guest house that made us feel spoiled. Never mind the chocolate chip, walnut pancakes in the morning! That took care of any hangovers that might be lingering! Thanks guys...very appreciated!!!
Yesterday we met up with the Kesslers for lunch. What a treat! Kathryn and Al, and their sons Tim and Justin, were our neighbours in Fort Nelson. They left Fort Nelson just before we did and moved to Calgary. Now they are building a house in Belize that will be their eventual retirement home. So they've been touring around the country with family for the last few weeks. Yesterday they were in Cayo checking out the Xunantunich Mayan site so we hooked up for lunch. It was so nice to visit and catch up. It really is such an amazing world that we live in.
They are building on the coast in an area near Placencia. We spend a lot of time in Placencia so I have no doubt that we will be able to stay in touch and we'll have more visits in the future. After all, it's a small country!
We also hooked up a couple that we met at Donna's party. They are friends of Joe's from Whitecourt...Robert and Andrea. They are in the early stages of a 'round the world trip. Awesome!
And lastly....nine days and four hours until Larissa and Sheryn get here! Countdown has started!
