soon it will be Christmas day...

well, we went to Belize city for thanksgiving. for some reason, and to my utter surprise, i was filled with joy to be there. i never thought i would get such a high from belize city. i was bouncing down the dirty streets smiling at people and almost cried with joy in brodies (the big grocery store) because they were playing Christmas music and had otis spunkmyer muffins and cookies. i was wishing that everyone could be there with me seeing the things i was seeing, which is why i didn't post a picture this time... i want to paint you one...so to speak: a pile of wheelchairs and broken mattresses in front of a retirement home, a man in a wife beater pacing and talking to him self, a man with a cast on his arm that was oozing with blood, a brown polluted river that looks like the toxic mote around the swings and the tital wave at lagoon, a man who stopped us to tell us the history of the myans for money and said the phrase "bull shhh.....ut your mouth little boy!", long wierd toenails, dreds, tourists getting thier hair braided (which if you come here, that's not okay..), a lot of t-shirts that say things like "my boyfriends cuter than yours", "no you didn't", "Sexy Diva", and for some reason, totally out of the norm was a miniture department store with a blow up snow storm ball on the front lawn. so welcome to belize city.
