We got back from
Belmopan on Saturday afternoon.
Day Five and Six - 26 and 27 September, 2015
Just in time for Sunday and Sunday
night's Blood Red Moon, really just a total lunar eclipse. But still,
pretty cool. I stayed up as long as I could to see it. Not quite half
way through the five and-a-half hour progression of the eclipse.
You'd
be surprised how strong the beliefs down here are in old wive's tales
and legends of what can happen to pregnant women, children, women who
want/don't want to become pregnant, etc. I think the old beliefs may be
losing ground, because of some of the questions we got asked about it.
But, unless you can give a factual, simple and easy to understand
answer, but even then, the fall-back is to continue believing the old
ways.

| My Pocket Camera's Take of the Blood Red Moon |
We came back to lots of mounds of marl and trenches run everywhere.These guys worked hard. And that's even with rain delays.
Colleen,
who house-sat for us and tended the animals too, told us about the
heavy rains and how the guys had to shovel the water out of the trenches
before they could continue doing their work. We owe Colleen a huge debt
of grattitude for staying here, and for her husband Bruce, who had to
take care of matters at their own home while Colleen was gone. Thanks
guys. We owe you.

| A Lot of Progress - Mounds Everywhere |
Of course, by the time we got back, the heavy rains
had subsided. It was pretty much georgeous weather on the home-front by
then. Don't those trenches just look great? We were surprised and happy
to see how much progress had been made.
