Galen University Cafeteria. Maribel is the head chef and was also the one to pick us up at the airport when the UVM students first arrived. Since I arrived so early Jan. 8th, Maribal and I had a chance to share a cup of coffee and I practiced my Spanish with her. Being friends with the head of the cafeteria pays off by getting extra food each meal. Not to mention free Spanish lessons. Good Deal
The Library at Galen, located behind the main building.
A favorite reading/lunch spot in front of Galen. You've got to love a palm-thatched roof to keep the intense sun rays from cooking you.
The Galen bus that takes us to school from downtown San Ignacio. I've chatted it up with the driver, Ernesto. Bus schedules are more or less a guideline. I have spent some time at school chatting it up with Ernesto, so the bus doesn't leave without me :)
The Lecture Hall at Galen. This is the largest and nicest of the three classrooms. Firstly, there are windows at the back of the room; so class can continue without complete darkness when the power goes out. Apparently there are daily rolling blackouts in Belize although we have been lucky the first week and not had blackout during class. The metal, folding chairs are standard in each of the classrooms and are a bit brutal on the bonier bodies...especially for the duration of a 2 and a half hour class.
