preschoolers on parade




the other morning when i came in to work, Alma, the early childhood education officer, asked me if i wanted to go to a parade with her. it's Child Stimulation Month here in Belize, and so it's all about raising awareness about the benefits of preschool. well, who am i to say no to the chance to watch a slew of preschoolers parading through town?



this is the youngest son of George, the guy who owns the South Indian restaurant Ashley and i (and anyone we can convince to join us) have become obsessed with. he's frequently the one who comes to hand me my menu as soon as i arrive.

Everything looks so colorful there. It's a bit brown here when it isn't white. Um, also, did we discuss my Mennonite obsession??? I'm knocking on your door right now.
