Saying goodbye and Heading home

This week has been exhausting to put it mildly. We have said goodbye to so many wonderful people, and we are just drained. As Shakespeare put it, "parting is such sweet sorrow", and it truly is. We are looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and hugging many necks very soon.

Tomorrow we start our journey home. We are going to spend a few days in central-western Belize where we will travel into Guatemala to visit the great Mayan ruins of Tikal. On Wednesday we will travel to the Belize Zoo and then onto Belize City on Thursday where we will fly to Houston, TX. We get the privilege of spending the night in my state of birth, magnificent Texas, and then fly into Jackson, MS early the next morning (Friday). Pray that all of this journey is safe and uneventful. USA, here we come!
