Flying Over Islands

I'm a little behind on my blogging but on Wednesday, March 17th we flew in to San Pedro on a small 10 passenger plane. It was the most amazing experience! As we were flying we could look out and see Belize city and a few other islands off the coast. We made three stops; one in Belize city, one in Caye Caulker, and a final stop in San Pedro. The plane flew over the water, which was so unbelieveably blue. As we were flying up in the air we could look down and see the coral, and the fish, and even manatees. The landing strips that the pilot landed the plane on were very short and not even paved the way that our roads in America are. The bunkers or airports are so run down and tiny; I couldn't believe it. When we finally arrived in San Pedro we took a cab from the landing strip to Pedro's Inn which was right across the street.
The Inn is very interesting. We stay in these small rooms with two beds with only sheets, a sink, a toilet (that you're not allowed to flush paper down), and a shower (that does not have hot water). We only have one outlet which is quite a struggle with two girls. It is going to take a little getting used to. I especially hate taking cold showers but I will survive. The people here are very friendly and talkative and it seems like there's going to be plenty for us to do together. I think that I'm going to like it here!
