Hello Belize!

Molly and I have just returned from the wonderful world of Belize. It was very hard to return to the hustle and bustle of the real world again after a wonderful week on Vacation.

Belize is a wonderful world of contrasts. We started our trip on Caye (pronounced "key") Caulker. This small island is about a 45 minute water taxi ride off the main land. While their we enjoyed a very laid back and relaxed atmosphere that can only be found in the waters of the Caribbean. Also we had a chance to go snorkeling on the second longest barrier reef in the world. The waters were so clear and blue. Gorgeous!

We then spent one night on Caye Ambergris in the town of San Pedro. It was still beautiful, but it was more crowded.

From the islands we then moved onto the Jungle. We took a three hour bus ride into the jungled hills to a small town called San Ignacio. From here we went into Guatamala for one day to see Tikal. We also saw many ruins in this area of Belize. We also had a chance to go to the Mountain Pine Ridge National Park. In this area of Belize there are many rivers, waterfalls and Piny forests. It was a lot cooler and less humid in this part of Belize. It is a great place to find refuge from the heat and humidity of the rest of the country.

We are glad to be back but can't wait for the next time we go.
