Another great day in Belize!

Hello again! We're still having a great time! Thanks for all the comments, they were encouraging. Since we wrote last we have done lots of new things. Yesterday, we went on a chocolate tour to see how the chocolate is made here(all by hand!). We swam in the Caribbean with the children, and got attacked by shrimp and had to make a quick escape to the dock. Later that night we went to Da Wata Fountin and cataloged hundreds of books! We woke up bright and early this morning to get a good start on the day, ate some yummy breakfast. Bought some paint and wood to make signs for Da Wata Fountin and painted them. While we were waiting for them to dry, we headed to the Saturday street market for a bit. Later today we will be going to a Futbol game, searching for the best supermarkets, and greeting the rest of the team at the "airport". Thanks again for all the prayers. We would love to read comments from you!
Note to Howden Family: Please don't cut down a Christmas tree without me!! :)

Punta Gorda at night.

Painting our hands yellow, a BIG mistake.
