Belize - Belarus -
Both start with B - e - l ...
A quick glance might easily explain this.
Or it could have been one of those state of the art computer driven scanners at a post office somewhere - that sent some very important papers we were waiting to receive, on this 'around-the-world-tour'.
We had been waiting for birth certificates to arrive here. We had paid dearly for them and were eagerly expecting them. And we waited...
And we waited...
And we waited...
Multiple trips to the Post Office in Dangriga, asking if anything had arrived for us. Waiting while the very nice lady with a one leg seriously shorter than the other, shuffles her way to the back of the office to see if our hopes have been met. Smiling, we say 'thank you'.
We'll be back again in a couple days or so, whenever we decide to drive into town again.
This repeats itself for a week, then another, then another, then another...
By now, we believe that our birth certificates have been lost - or worse - have been stolen and could very easily be being used in some identity theft scheme.
Seriously - that has worried us.
Until today.
Today we received the much awaited mail. Finally.
Becki looked at the postal stamp on the back...could it really be?
Closer inspection proved what her nearly unbelieving eyes were seeing -
M-i-n-s-k, Belarus.
Belarus!!!???
Isn't that like the other side of the world?!?!?! Yes, it is.
This package had taken an adventurous journey - to another part of the world
AND back again, all for $1.95
Now, that is a bargain, you can't find anywhere else!
Yep, life in Belize - or even in Belarus, never boring!!
Blessings from B-e-l-...umm, where are we again?!
