Belize, Last Day in Toledo

Today was another full day, starting with the market in Punta Gorda — “PG” as some of the locals call it — and ending with Abelina and Juan’s chocolate around the corner from the Lodge. In between, we had lunch with Gomier at his wonderful veggie-and-fish restaurant in PG, dropped off two of our participants who had to leave a half a day early at the airport, and watched Andrea make pottery the way her grandmother taught her last year shortly before she died.

It was the birthday of one of our participants today, so dinner was a little more leisurely than normal, not that we ever rush through dinner. Then, there was imaging, the daily critique, and exporting the daily picks and what we call the Purple People Eaters onto a stick for our Students’ Gallery that will go up in another week or so.

We have to finish packing for an early-ish departure for Caye Caulker, so this will be a potpourri of what we did today. I’ll write more about the day in another blog, for now, suffice it to say that it was another wonderful group of people, some alumni, some newbies, all of whom produced some really terrific images.

  1. I saw PG through different eyes last Saturday, and loved going back to Andrea, her pottery, and the kids. Was sorry it was the last day. I was just getting in the grove and getting to know everyone.

    1. Joanie,

      I think we were all sorry it was the last day. I love the friendships that are made in our workshops. And like you, it was great going back to Andrea and her family and having her remember us from last year. Everyone was so nice and welcoming in all the villages we visited.

      Take care,

      TBC

    1. It was a fun day, Ronn, and the people here are so lovely, so friendly. I think that’s what makes their expressions so engaging.

      And thanks for sharing with your friends on Facebook!

      Take care,

      TBC
