Water, water everywhere





Today we arrived at Caye Caulker. Everything's going into full tourist mode now. Tomorrow we are going to go snorkeling, and we will spend the rest of our trip relaxing until we go back home on Tuesday. Wish it were a little sunnier today, but that should come in due time. The island is smaller than one would think, but there is a lot here. Very unexpected.

Keegan Hare- On Caye Caulker.

We have arrived on Caye Caulker, checked into our hotel, and have made a short tour of the Island. We picked up some things at the grocery store, and are now in are room settling in and playing cards.

Keegan Hare- Heading to Caye Caulker

We are up and moving this morning, finishing up last minute packing and getting ready to head out to Caye Caulker.  As I understand it, we are driving to Belize City, dropping off our checked luggage with a friend there, and then taking a ferry out to the island.

Big Rock vs. Cameron


Keegan Hare- Tying up Loose Ends and Big Rock

Since Monday we have spent most of the time finishing up small things and getting ready to depart.
On Tuesday we did more analyzing of the energy consumption here at the inn and looking at voltage drops in various buildings of the inn.
Wednesday we went to another school. It wasn't too far away, but you have to park your car and walk over a small bridge to get to the school. It was a small school, and it apparently floods occasionally. One of the smaller buildings that is one classroom is wood and doesn't have a foundation, and we were told that the last time it flooded, it got picked up and moved by the water. Because it is a relatively small building, they just got a group of people together, picked it up and moved it back.
Thursday we went to a place called Big Rock. It is up near Thousand Foot Falls, so we took the same bumpy road to get there. Big Rock is about a fifty foot waterfall with several large pools. We went swimming there for several hours.
Today we have been packing up the tools and our stuff, getting ready to head out to Caye Caulker tomorrow morning.






Big Rock



Had an awesome time at Big Rock yesterday. Used swimming muscles that I haven't used for years, came back sore, but had much fun. We swam right up to the falls and sat under them and to the side. It was a great time.

Work 100% done

So it's day 16 of our trip and we are official done with all the work we were scheduled to do. That included all the solar systems we put up, as well as distributing all the Dell laptops we brought down as well. With less then a week left on this trip I can say that it absolutely went to fast for me i 'm sure i'll be saying that again next Tuesday when we are boarding our plane to come back. I can not wait to finally get to see the beautiful coastline of Belize, as well as the barrier reef that stretches down its entire shores.I'll be sure to post a bunch of pictures of me snorkeling in the reef!
