We are extremely lucky to have this opportunity and to have our family support our decisions. It is hard to say goodbye to your family, knowing you are moving to a foreign country, having to communicate mainly through the internet, and not being able to just get in the car and drive to see them. I do not forget the sacrifices my family and friends have made for us to follow our dream. So I partly do this blog so they can feel like they are a part of our journey....and then I have to admit, I sometimes do post these pictures just so others will be jealous of where we are.

Before we moved, I purchased a new camera. This camera has all the gadgets on it and I have yet to learn how to use the manual setting. I do have to say the auto setting has taken some amazing pictures for me. However, I think I could do a lot more if I would actually take the time to read the manual. One day......
So the other night, there was a full moon here in San Pedro. I whipped out my camera and tried to use the manual adjustments. It took me quite a few tries, but I think I got a couple shots that turned out pretty decent. What do you think?

Jager and I get up early almost every morning and we usually head outside to the beach and the dock. This is my favorite time of the day: watching the sunrise, feeling the fresh breeze, the quietness of the beach. It is pure serenity. Jager absolutely loves the beach and he is learning to chase the waves. It is adorable and it makes me smile every time I see him hopping along the wet sand, knowing we made the right decision.

I know I have posted pictures of our Belizean transportation-our bikes. But if you are wondering how we get Jager all around the island, this is how we do it!

And then I saw something that amazed...and maybe scared me a little....the other night. Rob and I were riding home from work and we always pass a place the locals call "croc lake". I'm thinking, okay, right, there have been crocs spotted there, but no way will I ever see one.
I. Was. Wrong.
There were a few golf carts pulled to the side of the road and some locals fishing in the lake. I was thinking they caught something really cool. And then I realized there was a crocodile laying near the shore and everyone was just starring at it. I said.....I have to get a picture of this! Don't worry, I didn't get too close! And I stayed on my bike, just in case he/she decided to charge. I was thinking I could out-bike the croc, but that will have to be tested at a later date. Or maybe never!!

So after witnessing some local crocs and seeing the sunrises at the condo, we had a huge party at The Snack Shack the other day. Monday was another holiday here in San Pedro and the local private school, Island Academy, decided to bring some of the students to the pool. Well, the 15 original students they told us about turned into about 30 kids! The pool was rockin'! I got everyone to get together to take a picture at The Shack. CHEEZE.....
So for today we have a private adult party, which should be a good time. We are testing some of our games that we will use next weekend for our first ADULT WATER OLYMPICS! I cannot wait to document that day.
And then everyone knows what Saturday is! ST. PATRICK'S DAY.
We are having Irish Car Bombs, Green Beer, and CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE. Many of you may not think that is a big deal, however, there is no corned beef on the island. How are we getting it, you ask? Well, that is our little secret.
So until then.....
