Greetings everyone-
Well we survived Bermudian Landing - howling Howler Monkeys (at 4:30 am), crocodile hunting (at night), lots-o-bugs, and many more things best told in person! We arrived in Belmopan two days ago on a day that saw us at the Belize Zoo and horseback riding! I'm really proud of the students as they showed their ethics, professionalism, and for some courage!
Yesterday was the first real "free day" - a day when students got to choose what they would do and where they would go (all in groups of 2 minimum). Most headed to a neighbouring town in hopes of shopping, unfortunately most of the shops were closed as it was Sunday. Laura and I headed to the Blue Hole National park for a great hike and a wonderfully refreshing swim. Pictures will follow at a later date!
Today was the excitement day with the morning spent cave tubing and the afternoon zip-lining! Again I'm really proud of the students who over came their fears to fully participate in these activities.
Tomorrow we head to Guatemala and then off to Tikal. Again, I don't know what the internet situation will be so if you don't hear from us for a couple of days don't worry!
Aggie
