R.I.P. Little guy. . .

Dad, I know you read this so i'm sorry to inform you that i have temporarily misplaced the watch you so generously donated for my trip. It may or may not have fallen off when i was jumping into the waterfall pool, or it may or may not bu under a pile of gravel 20 minutes into the forest. I'm not sure. . . but either way I guess I owe you a watch!

Now that I've got the bad news out of the way i figure i'll share some good news! Belize is amazing. Today we went out a village called Steadfast, where the Engineering team a couple years back did the water filtration system. We went up there to see the system, and we're going to be doing some improvements on it. Basically it was 4 gravel filters leading to 4 sand filters leading to the village, but the gravel never really worked so we're going to replace the gravel with sand and make 8 sand filters. So as you can see from the picture below, we did some shoveling today! We used the gravel to make a more defined and less slippery pathway to the filtration system. So it worked out nicely because we didn't waste it!

Then after that we went to this beautiful waterfall! It had cliffs you can jump off of that were about 10-20 feet high. I'll put the videos on facebook when i get home so i don't terrify my mom! But it was gorgeous, and definitely a nice refresher from the pools of sweat we were making from working.

This is an opportunity of a lifetime and thank you to everyone that helped make it happen for me. No complaints here, other than the fact that we skipped lunch so i'm a little hungry. But no big deal because i'm off to get some now!

I feel like i should have a funny story for ya'll so you could laugh or have something interesting to read other than my witty/suspensful titles . . . ah oh well. I really hope noone thought something actually died from this posts title. . .lol

Alright we'll I'll post again soon!
