the reason why...

although it probably doesn't appear to be so from my blog, sometimes it is actually really hard to be here in belize.  i miss things back at home...like a legit shower, not sweating all the time, eating apples (oh, how i miss apples), having a bed to sleep in, drinking water from the tap, and my family and friends. but then i remember why i'm here...

this is a sign posted at one of our favorite restaurants here.  delicious food and encouragement all in one stop.
