Threads of Hope Belize

 February 14th Wednesday.
Trip to Belize City on the bus.
Purpose to purchase fabrics for the school uniforms. 
We left Unitedville at 8:15am.
We made it to Belize City about 10:30. The bus was nice. Definitely
not a new bus but it was clean. On the ride over we stopped at least 10 times to pick up passengers. You can add Belize City to the list of cities I NEVER want to drive in.
Streets are narrow, bumper to bumper traffic, people double parking lots of horns honking. Whew! I just closed my eyes thought it might be easier if I don't watch.  The bus terminal is a locked and guarded area. Similar to prison however meant to keep the bad guys out. 

Joe and his helper packing up the

fabrics we purchased.  A taxi picked us up  and back to the bus terminal. 

This bad boy here is our ride home. This is the EXPRESS bus! Our packages loaded in the back and we are off again. Out of lock up and on the road. This driver was MOVING! We made a few stops but we made great time. Again, me with my eyes closed! This guy passed everything in sight. Back in Unitedville about 3:00pm and headed home with a stop at the Spelling Bee in Duck Run #1. We had two children from LosTambos School competing. Unfortunately both of the children were eliminated in the fourth round.
