So the politician last night cancelled on us again so we
ended up going to Cayo Twist to get some ice cream then we went to the casino.
It was called the Princess Casino San Ignacio. I only spent BZ$ 5 ($2.50
American). I didn’t really know what I was doing on the slots but it was fun.
We only stayed for a little while. People were allowed to smoke in there so my
eyes ended up killing me and Stephen and Zack were tired so we left around
10:30. It’s definitely weird being around smoke inside when you come from NY
where you’re not allowed to smoke indoors.
Today has been a really slooooooooow day. We did this
volunteer thing where we went to this botanical garden to help them out. We
raked some leaves and painted some wooden planks that they’re going to make
into signs. The good part of it was we got to try more coconut and sugar cane.
They also had a cocoa plant where you could suck on the bean. I didn’t try it
because the texture looked really weird, but the sugar cane was delicious. Also
while we were there, they showed us a bunch of the plants and even got some to
try and help Amber with the rash on her arm. It was pretty cool to watch, even
though Amber said it didn’t really work. Grant said that they’re probably going
to get some prednisone from the pharmacy for a couple of the people who got a
rash while pushing the bus out of the mud. We only spent a couple of hours
there then headed back to ProWorld. Vicky and I went to the market for a little
bit after that, but didn’t stay very long. Neither of us really felt like
buying anything. It’s been a crazy hot day today which made both of us really
tired, so we walked up the ginormous hill, stopped at Sweet Ting to get an iced
coffee then she went back to her house and I stopped at a shop next to Cayo
Twist to get more bug spray since I’m running low. It’s obnoxious how expensive
bug spray is here. It was BZ$ 16.95 for a single can of bug spray.
Once I got back to the house, I just ended up taking a nap
for a bit and now here I am writing my blog while David and his friends play
outside. One of them was hitting drum sticks on cans while I was trying to
sleep. Ugh.
Anyway, tonight we have Punta lessons and tomorrow we have
Pine Ridge.
Amber got a rash on her arm from something a couple days ago so Lucas said he could try something and this is him putting it on her arm
