Detour: Belmopan

from the top:
on day 7 of our trip I get a call from PC Belize informing me that Hurricane Matthew was on its way towards Belize and I needed to get to the mainland first thing the next morning. 
I quickly went into denial then bargaining
"NO way is this really happening. Can't we just wait and see what tomorrow brings... talk more when we know more... no need to make any hasty decisions right?"


only one thing to do in a situation like this. 
Gather up your friends, 
head to the nearest watering hole, 
and get completely sloshed.




Deona our first friend on the Island
Gracias for the
stiff drinks,
sharing your stories,
and good luck with your girls youth group
