Wow - it is different down here. The airport, even, is a shock. It was tiny, and REALLY hot. There were also some...umm..nice (sarcastic) customs people. But I still can't believe that we had to wait 30 minutes for customs. Anywho, we then met Juan and Erin, they are so cool! Juan is a VERY tolerant guy who drives us everywhere. Erin is our World Leadership School dude/person/girl. She is incredible. So after a long bus ride, we arrived at Monkey Bay. We had a quick tour and then loaded into our rooms. Then it was dinner time. We had some incredible tacos - WOW. After that we went to the Belize Zoo, a beastly place. One of the first things we did was see snakes but we didn't only see them - Mrs. N, McKenzie, Mary, Ashlyn, Maggie, Megan, Mandy, Annabel, and Elise held the boa constrictor. We also saw an ocelot, a river otter, a jaguar, tapirs, a cougar, hollar monkey, and lots of pickerels, two harpy eagles, several margays, crocodiles, deer, a puma, and two beautiful honey bears! It was so cool! Then by the time we were finished it was time for bed! To be continue tomorrow when we arrive in Dangriga.

Hello Belize Bunch! You are all missed at home, but it sounds like you are off to a great start! I notice Mrs. Latham's name wasn't in that list of snake handlers...??? Have fun and take care! We look forward to more updates!
