Hello from Orange Walk! I know that posting a blog from me is way overdue. I'm sure many of you have questioned whether there actually is a second instructor on this trip...and well yes I'm here! I have just been having such a fabulous time with this group that I haven't taken a moment to post anything yet. Aggie already posted a photo from our fabulous day, but I thought I'd let you know how it was. We went on a tour up the river from Orange Walk to Lamanai ruins. This site is an Mayan ruin site that has been partially excavated by an archaeological team led by someone from the Ontario Science Centre (yeah Canada!!). The boat ride up the river was stunning as we saw many birds, fish, and even a few small crocodiles!! The ruin site is wonderful. Our tour guide, Hermenin (sp?), was great and very informative.
Tomorrow is our last day in Orange Walk, and I know more of the group will be updating about our fantastic research experience in this great town. So much potential and the friendliest people ever!! Well I could write tons, but I just wanted to assure everyone that I am here, helping Aggie out...and loving every minute of it! Of course, I do miss you all at home and look forward to sharing this experience with you.
Cheers,
Laura
