Update--Belize!

We've been super busy, but here's a short update. We're trying to finish the Soilet, find some corporate sponsors, and start up a business class teaching basic money management skills.

So first of all the most exciting...

So the site where we are building the Soilet is a little resort along the river. For those of you planning to visit the Cayo this would be a fun place to stay. It's called the Parrot's Nest, and in addition to it's namesake, a pet parrot, there are a ton of these running around and climbing in the trees.




We're in the final stages of finishing the Soilet. We are the hardcore Soileteers!


In this picture are Marissa, me, Mary, and Wendy(in the front --standing in the drain hole!) We spent our Saturday out filling in putting the final touches on the drainfield (lots of picking and digging), placing the pipe, and filling it in with gravel.


I say we're hardcore because the rest of our group were either off at Key Caulker or in Guatemala visiting Tikal! of course, we would have been in the Tikal group, but as many of you know Marissa hurt her knee, and it's no fun to climb ancient Mayan temples with four stitches and a swollen knee. (More on that later!)
