Our next volunteer has arrived to San Pedro. He will be with us for the summer as volunteer staff. We are grateful to have his heart of service for Living Tree Academy.
Our beloved taxi driver always shares the heartbeat of the country with us as he transports us from the airport to the water taxi. During this trip he shared the reason for the capital city being named. A contest was set up to chose the name many years ago. Since the river Mopan ran through the current capitol and “bel” stands for Bel-ize, the city was named Belmopan.
Our taxi driver also took us to a fruit stand in the City; produce and much more is cheaper on the mainland than the island. It’s a learning process but we enjoyed picking up a few bananas, mangoes and pineapple.
The water taxi was quit a treat, however our volunteer staff lost his hat quickly as it flew off his head in the wind. Thankfully he brought two hats. This was our first trip on a double-decker water taxi and during the evening hours. After a long day of travel we all arrived back at the staff house after dark.
