Belizean Bingo - Part 3

Find a "sign" that does not make sense - Sketch it or write it down.  What do you think it means?
You know, I never really ran into something like this.

Find a green park or a restful area - Take a walk to find a restful place you didn't expect to find.
Okay, this is sad.  I also didn't find one of these.  However, I didn't really look for one.  I was too caught up in the excitement of everything else.

Students of Holy Cross School - What did you observe students doing that surprised you?
My first few posts on here were all about the students, but I can try to add some stuff in here.  My students surprised me with how well they knew both English and Spanish.  It was really interesting trying to have conversations with them because they would constantly switch back and forth.  It was also really interesting to see how close they were with their parents.  We had family day one day and each child stuck with their parents for the most part, instead of running off with their friends like I probably would have at that age.  It was also really interesting to see that one of my 3 year olds was still being fed with a bottle.  I'd love to do some more research and see how people raise children as compared to the United States.

Sunset Sail - What was your experience on the Sirena Azul on your sunset sail?  What impressions were lasting?
The sunset sail was my favorite part of the entire trip.  I absolutely LOVED it.  I had never been sailing before. It's such a relaxing experience, letting the waves rock you back and forth.  I also loved it because we all had some really great conversations.  I got to be very close with everyone during the sunset sail, especially my two professors who went along with.  It was really cool to see the sun setting over the ocean, as the water turned from clear to dark blue.  I got to help out with putting the sail up, which was a really interesting experience.  It was really tough!  I don't know how only two people put it up together.  I think it would take 8 of me!  After the sun went down, we had some fun dancing around on the boat, just really enjoying ourselves.  This trip really made me value the small, beautiful things in life.

  

Ask for help - Did you ask for assistance or directions for anything?  What happened?
At one point, my group of friends and we got turned around and couldn't figure out which direction to go back to the hotel.  We stopped at one of the street vendors and asked them how to get there.  The first vendor said they didn't know, so we moved to the next one who was really nice with giving us directions on how to get back.
