Safe Arrival

Hello from Belize! After a long day of travel yesterday, my mom and I made it safely. We got as far south as Dangriga last night, where we stayed. This morning we made our way down to Placencia via bus and water taxi. It's beautiful here and very, very hot!! I don't think I have ever sweated this much in my life. Seriously.

Tomorrow we are going snorkeling -- hoping to see whale sharks. Howevev, the lady at the dive shop said if we didn't see whale sharks we'd probably see hammerheads or bull sharks (to which my eyes got really large). "They don't hurt do they?" So we get three snorkels; 2 with whale sharks and one off the reef. We'll keep you posted on what we see!!

The landscape is beautiful - jungly with lots of bright flowers - hibiscus, birds of paradise, mango, banana, coconut trees, you get the picture.

Alright, headed back to the beach......more to come!
