img_2392We ALL climbed this Mayan ruin, Xunantunich. From the top we saw howler monkeys, mahogany trees, tucans, and Guatemala!

img_0918Checking out the baby green iguanas at the Iguana Project hatchery

img_0856drinking my first  banana, orange and  honey (soy) milkshake at Da Shak in Placencia

img_2432we took this crazy hand-cranked ferry across the Mopan River in San Juan Succotz

img_2253checking out the parrots at Robert’s Grove Inn, Seine Bight, Belize

img_0891keeping hydrated at the Maya Beach Bistro in Maya Beach, Belize

img_2337hiking through the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary

(this is technically a jaguar reserve and it is also where something growled at mommy and she almost peed in her pants)

img_0871oh, and don’t forget the bed dancing!

 

* I had to name  this entry “unBELIZEable” because our tour guide, Eduardo, kept saying that phrase at Xunantunich and he even had it on his hat…sort of  the country’s motto.
