Greetings from Belize

Well we're here! We have been in Belize for a month and half and things have gone just like I thought they would...nothing like I thought it would.
Many are wondering what it is like living here. First, nothing can prepare you for the heat and humidity (and this isn't even the hottest part of the year). The house we are renting is concrete with a flat roof. The entire house heats up during the day and is hard to cool down at night. We can only run our A/C at night because of the high cost of electricity. We have put some thatch (the stuff Gilligans hut was made out of) on the roof and it has helped some.
Second, it is hard to beat the fresh fruits available. We eat out some, but all of the food taste the same, it takes at least 30 minutes to prepare and there is an ever present chance of food poisoning (I am just starting to get over a case now). Just like in the states the best meals are the ones Anita cooks but the kitchen gets so hot with the stove on.
The Barnetts have been a blessing. My hat goes off to missionaries that move to countries where they know no one. Nicky and Beverly have encouraged us, listen to us, and spoiled us when we have needed it the most.
I will post more later. Thanks for the prayers and support.
