It was hard to leave our cozy little place in Hopkins with the shaded hammocks overlooking the ocean. At night the stars are so bright. We would all go up to the roof and lay on our backs looking at the constellations. Every morning the kids in town walk to school in their brown and yellow uniforms that match the school building. Across the road from the school sits a big building that is used for school assemblies. It overlooks the ocean (see below). What a great place to have a school assembly! The sounds of roosters crowing compete with the ocean waves for most typical noise in Hopkins. It's a nice place to relax!
Yesterday, Friday, we packed up the rental 4wd for our trip to Placencia. We had considered shortening the Placencia portion of our trip after hearing some bad reports but we're so glad we didn't. It's a fun place with a boardwalk that runs through all of the village with beautiful views of the ocean on one side and the lagoon on the other. The apartment we're renting sits right on the lagoon and has hammocks of its own. We've definitely adjusted to life in Belize now. Sofia would like to live here permanently and I'm going to be sad to leave. There is a slower pace to life here that I like and the sunshine is, well, in much greater supply than Oregon.

I agree… Oregon's liquid sunshine just doesn't quite cut it sometimes. I'm sure I could get used to living in Belize. Your pictures and descriptions really make it enticing! - Erin
