Thurs, 17 Mar.
today was kind of a lost day. it rained in the morning, and i walked into town asking for donations. i realized it's St. Patty's Day. not too many Irish here, but any excuse for a party will do. i noticed a few places ready to celebrate
i had wanted to go back to the Clinic today. but it rained off and on most of the day, ... with hot humid sunshine in between. Patricia called Philia to ask if they needed help ... but we didn't hear back by 2:30. i think it was a slow day because of the rain. worked on my blog and took a nap during one of the rains.
when it rains here ... walking down the street is more like playing Hop Scotch !
met at The Sundowner and learned that World Vets spayed/neutered over 200 dogs in this 3 day period .... yeahhhhhhhh. that is only a dent in the population, but it's a start.
and at the same time that World Vets are doing all this good work, i get an email from Madi, that the City Council had 'murdered' all the stray dogs on Caye Caulker. she was devastated! a month ago, they threatened to put poison out so the stray dogs would eat it. she met with the Council and offered a long term solution to the problem, (spaying and neutering, etc), and they agreed. obviously they changed their minds. at least they did it humanely..... :(
i don't know if it's just this time of year, or the position of the island; but really, ... i have seen more beautiful sunsets here ... day after day after day.
the other thing i learned is that the sun 'sets' VERY QUICKLY here .... you don't want to go to the bar to get another drink, ... you'll miss it! i took a video that i'll get on You Tube at some point.
