Dinner with Diplomats

Wednesday night the nineteen of us were invited to dinner with the Consulate of Belize, Dr. Paul and his family. He sent a water taxi to pick all of us up at Fido’s dock. We survived the bumpy ride by telling jokes and taking lots of beautiful pictures of the sunset. When we got to his resort he was there on the dock to welcome us! There were appetizers there waiting for us. The fresh salsa and chips were delicious. While we waited for the great American burgers and fries to come out we spent time talking and getting to know Dr. Paul, his wife and kids, and his brother and sister-in-law. They were good ole Wilmingtonians and while we chatted with them we were reminded of home and how much we loved it! Luckily, the fun did not end with the great food. After our burgers were devoured we spend the rest of the night in a fit of dancing and laughing. There was a huge group of us that formed a circle and just danced to every song that came on. One by one we went around the circle and showed off our very best moves. As a night cap, Dr. Paul sang to our whole group “Mrs. Jones” at the top of his lungs! It was hysterical. The boat ride back was filled with more singing and laughing at our horrible voices. Our night spent with the Consulate was by far one of the best we’ve shared here on the island.
