Belize 2010_35

It was hot, muggy and no wind so we took Cinthia on a walk up north. It started to rain on our walk and it was so nice. As soon as we got home we jumped in the pool to cool off and it really started to come down. Madre' and Padre' went in to get the boat from the mechanic. I did some laundry while Matt took a nap and then we got ready to go into town. We had dinner at the Papusaria and I gave them me madre's last magazine with the article we wrote on Belize last year with their picture in it. They were so thankful and gave us a discount on dinner.

We headed towards Lime for the birthday party/fundraiser. We rode via the beach with Cinthia running besides me to wear her out and a little girl stopped me and said is that...from the...? I finished her sentence, Cinthia from the newspaper. She gave her love and asked why she looked so different. I told her the story of when SAGA found her she was in bad shape and they fixed her up.

Matt took my bike so I could walk Cinthia so she would go to the bathroom right before we went in and all there was to walk was a dark, dirt alley way. Well she ate something that I had to pull out of her mouth and it was rancid! I walked straight into Lime and straight back to the bathroom. We got Cinthia a drink and gave her almost all her food we carry around with us for treats. It helped a little bit, by the end of the night she smelt normal again. All I could think about was how it was the worst timing, right before we were trying to show her off! Well it didn't matter everybody loved her and she played hard and had to take a nap under the table. I did my part and helped collect money for the raffle by taking the goody basket around and making sure everybody that wanted a raffle ticket bought one.

They drew for the raffle and we counted all the money. We raised $200 BZ ($100 US)! I was pretty sure we were going to make our goal. We said our thanks and goodbyes and went back to the Papusaria for one more late night snack.
