Belize 2010_29

The wind is back in full force. We rode our 8/10 meter kites this morning and it felt nearly as gusty as the gorge. Madre' took some pictures before she ran out of memory because I forgot to format my other cards. Matt was out in waves when I got on the water. I could see dad headed towards town as a kiter from town was headed towards us. He only got as far as the Palapa Bar and turned around. Matt went to see what dad was doing and they both came back as the wind started to die down. They both went in and I was starting to have to work at making the 8 meter stay up wind. I went in and we packed up and headed to town for breakfast.

I made some donation buckets with the help of Kathy printing them out for me to put in SAGA and The Lime for Cinthia. I met Sharon the owner of The Lime and she is so supportive of us fundraising to get little Cinthia home with us. I gave her one bucket and she asked for two more. We had a delicious breakfast at The Lime and headed off down to SAGA to give them the other bucket. Just as we were around the corner I realized they closed at noon today. We went back to The Lime and gave Sharon the other bucket.

The wind was still blowing when we got home so we took a power nap and went out for a 12/14 meter sunset session. It was freakin' awesome, the best yet for me. It was dark when we came in and couldn't see anyone to land us so Matt flew his kite off to the side and I landed my kite to him. I ran up to get my kite of off him just as we heard madre' so Matt landed his kite to her. We packed up and rinsed off in the pool. As soon as I had my pj's on Dad suggested we go to the bar in the back and play a game of pool. I wanted to get Kathy's cookie sheets back to her so Matt and I went upstairs and delivered those plus a few cookies that I had made the day before. She was so pleased with our show we put on for them and fed us supper, homemade meat balls in fresh tomato sauce. She had us make meat ball sandwiches with mozzarella cheese, YUM!!! After dinner we went down and told the parents she had dinner waiting for them if they were hungry, madre' went up and we went to play pool. Madre' joined us when she was done and we played pool while playing darts, fun but pretty confusing. We were a woke by fireworks at about 1 in the morning but it felt more like 4am!
