As we leave Belize and make our way into Guatemala, we feel that now is a good time to get some things off our chests. Remember: judge not, lest ye be judged....
• We frequented a local Chinese restaurant just to get fried chicken and french fries.
• Some of us (we won’t say who) often fought foot fungus by peeing on it.
• We spent many a night watching old Dave Chapelle episodes on our computer.
• We spent over $5.00/gallon for gas. Seriously.
• Sometimes when we were in a line at the bank, we let others ahead of us so that we could stay in the AC longer. And on really sultry nights, we secretly wished for central air.
• We unknowingly let Thea swim in croc infested waters.
• We invited wolf spiders into our room so they would eat the bugs.
• Althea’s favorite toy was an old piece of bamboo that she saddled up and rode around the village.
• We paid $7.50 for Tom’s of Maine toothpaste.
• We still miss Mexico.
• In arguments with Althea, we tell her not to speak Kriol to us, but secretly we’re jealous of her accent.
• We went to a movie and when it was over, we forgot we were in Belize.
• We had frogs living in the water tank (they were small ones).
• We threw rocks at the neighbors’ potlicka dogs (they kept eating our food!).
• For 6 weeks we were right next to the Western Hemisphere’s largest barrier reef and didn’t go diving once.
• Althea dropped a brand new roll of toilet paper down the already full outhouse hole (sorry, Jes).
• We ate bowls and bowls of corn flakes (with warm powdered milk).
• We had the village kids rat Althea out when she ate sugar.
• Althea begged to play with the village kids every morning, but last night she said: “I’m glad to get away from those sick kids who run around barefoot and tattle-tell on me.” She still cried when we left though.
• In 6 weeks we’ve been to 6 mechanics and still haven’t fixed our van.

Dear Wilson's,
What an amazing adventure you are having. We really enjoy hearing about your journey. We thought you were only going as far as Belize...has there been a change in plans? Is there any way to get a care package to you? Do you need supplies-toothpaste, tp, coloring books, small toys, etc?
We're tryng to cope with DC summer. Too much humidity and miserable traffic. We could use a week in Aruba about now!
Happy travels, Josh, Courtney and Althea. Be safe.
Peace, Barb and Mick
Dear Josh and Courtney,
You guys are making me jealous. I haven't seen a beach all summer. I can't even begin to imagine how much fun ya'll are having, but I wouldn't be able to handle the bugs. Yuck, yuck! Althea looks like she is enjoying herself. It is always so nice to hear from you guys, how things are going, and the pictures are the best. Ya'll aren't really missing much here, its just the same old stuff. Mike and I miss you guys, so we will give you a call soon.
Let us know if you need anything, take care of yourselves, and give that Althea a kiss from me and Mike. Kisses and hugs to both of you.
Have fun and be safe,
Lara and Mike

Are you the same Josh WIlson for the much needed True Love Waits campaign? If you are, I am so glad you waited...I thinks Jesus would be extra proud of you! By the way, I think JC waited a little too long.
