Friday, the high school debate on the topic “Only those with serious mental illness should have access to health care professionals” went well. The students did a great job presenting their arguments. The team arguing the negative side of the argument won, and the photo (center) shows how excited the students of the winning team were.

Yesterday, I found a new passion, when I SCUBA dove for the first time. A friend in Hopkins, Luckie Nunez, is a SCUBA instructor, and began teaching me and two other of his friends to dive yesterday. After learning some skills in shallow water, we dove 20-25 feet deep in the coral reef off of South Water Caye. It was incredible! The colors and diversity were extraordinary, and the whole experience was otherworldly.
