We have arrived at the STAND center! We are at a farm with no electricity, running water, or any other comfortable amenities! The first couple of days were really hard. We are now getting used to the farm life. Our schedule is kind of like this: 6 AM- wake up, make a fire for breakfast (we cook everything on fire) do some chores, make breakfast, eat, etc. By about 8 or 9 AM we are ready to really start working. Jason has been doing carpentry stuff around the farm. There are some termite issues in some of the wooden structures. We work for four hours until lunch. We cook lunch, clean up and then go to the river to cool off. Then we rest and/or do laundry and other chores until dinner. After dinner we're so exhausted we fall asleep around 9PM.
There are two dogs, a cat, some free-range chickens and the quash. The quash is somewhat like a raccoon with a long tail. He playfully attacks you when you're wearing sandals and gnaws at your feet. Jason of course loves it. We're thinking we'll stay here for two or three weeks more, and then- who knows! If you want to check out the farm, go to stand-center.com
Before we came to the farm, we got to see a Belizean Independance Day Parade/Carnival. That was pretty cool. Here are our new friends, Dan, Laura and Scott with Jason in a little store on Caye Caulker.
Here is the Belizean parade.

Looks like the jungle was meant for you. You guys look integrated...
Love you both... bro
The quash is cute. Don't eat it Jason. You guys look stoked, and I'm very happy for you. We all miss you and love you! I'm proud of you too!
Is quash the real name for that cutie?
You both look very happy. Good idea to have the tent on your bunk!
love you both very much,
