This would be the border crossing at La Union. Its kinda sorta semi legal. Theres a customs trailer on the Belize side, but nothing on the Mex. side (they want belizians to come in and spend their dollars) So you dont have to pay the $40 fee, dont even have to have a passport. The canoe to cross costs US $1 round trip. The best part about it is humping two 50 lb sacks of rice up the hill to your pickup in a race to beat the customs guy back from the Mexican bar across the way and therefore not have to pay duty for your imported goods. Its an experience.
This is Susannah, Jeanine, Jeneve and another sister hanging out at the Carmelita football game. Jeanine is about to "plait" or braid Suzy's hair when we get back from town. (ill be sure to post pics :)
Meet "Da Fahmahs, the most hardcore gardeners in all of Carmelita
My whole Standard IV (think 5th gradeish) class standing in front of their newly planted beds. By now we are starting to see the radishes, cilantro and cucumber coming up!!
