There are some pictures from two events for work. First was a video shoot with Supa G, one of the most popular Punta Rock artists in Belize who just happens to be from Dangriga. He recorded a song for BFLA called "Its All One" for a health and wellness program we are doing along with the Ministry of Education. We stopped by his studio and watched part of the recording my first day at work in Dangriga. A few days later he recorded a video for the song with young students from the area. I thought they did a great job and was impressed to see this famous musician interacting with the kids. The second event was painting at the park with our YAM youth group.
Also there are pictures from my short weekend getaway to Cockscomb Basin and Placencia.
In other news, I bought a bike and am so excited to have my own set of wheels again. Unfortunately its not a Trek! In Burkina, Peace Corps imports bikes for volunteers because they realize we need good quality mountain bikes to get around since many of us didn't have transport to and from our sites. In Belize, transport is easy and bikes aren't seen as such a a necessity so volunteers that want a bike must buy one themselves with money provided for settling in. The only bikes available here are Beach Cruisers. They are one speed with foot brakes so its taking me some time to get used to riding.
