Belize

Paradise!

The beach at Tobacco Caye- the whole island is about 4 acre3s, you can literally walk around it in less than 10 minutes. It was about a 45 minute boat ride from the main land and sits right on the barrier reef which is the 2nd largest in the world. We did a little snorkling here, got to see some cool little fish, star fish, conch, and coolest of all some sting rays and eagle rays. They would just float on by in the water.
Our Cabana
The interesting group we ate with- we ran into most of them again on other parts of our trip. The women in blue and the one in red on the end are from Belgium and are on a 5 year tour of the world by bike. They have some stories to tell... we ran into them again while in Plancentia and got to hear some more stories. We don't feel quite so adventurous after meeting them.

Our trusty rental car that got us all around the country
The cottages we stayed at in Maya center- they were in the backyard of a local family who had lots of kids that had fun playing with Lillianna

Hiking in the jungle by the mayflower Mayan ruins, checking out waterfalls




Whispering Pines- we ate dinner here for $8 total and it was pretty good.
