Lessons Belize Has Taught Me

#1.

Always check the expiration date, just because it’s in the store doesn’t mean its still 

     good. 

#2.

Hot and shower don’t belong in the same sentence.

#3.

 There are bugs. Lots of them. Stop screaming and get over it. 

#4.

 Breastfeeding without covering up is common. It will happen. Give it time. And yes 

     that does apply to the first pew of the church during service.  

#5.

 Belize is ugly, regardless of the tourist pictures you see. *Note: This does not apply   

     to the resort areas on the nearby islands or Punta Gorda down south.  

#6.

 No, we don’t eat Mexican food here, this isn’t Mexico folks!

#7.

 Yes we speak English, just because we are in Central America doesn’t mean it’s full 

      of Mexican’s. 

#8.

 Living with the Joiner family means you are ready to travel at a moments notice. Always 

     pack a bag too, you might be staying over night. 

#9.

It’s hot and muggy and most places don’t have proper air conditioning. That’s just 

     the way of life, you will adjust. 

#10.

“When in Rome” is the best attitude to have. If you are always complaining and    

       comparing you will miss out on the amazing experience that is happening around 

       you.
