Saturday morning at the open market in San Ignacio

We had a great Professional Learning Community meeting last night in the bunkhouse. Awesome conversation and reflection on our experiences thus far. Truly an amazing opportunity to take these young professionals to Belize. Today we slept in after a long exhausting day on Friday. The open market is where many Belizeans bring their fresh produce and meat. Many other booths with homemade food. The chicken quesadilla was delicious!
