The first country we visited on our trip was Belize! We had to tender to shore. How exciting!
Michael and I had signed up for a trail ride at the Bacab Eco Park, so we were pretty excited!
Our horses were “Brownie” and “Ivan”. MIchael always gets the cute one. I’ll try not to pick on poor Ivan 🙁
We had a really great time and the tour guides definitely know so much about the plants and animals of the land. It was a “ravine forest”; not quite a rainforest. We heard Howler monkeys screaming in the trees, but didn’t get to see any. It was still pretty exciting!
We saw the tallest palm trees I have EVER seen in my life. Our guide told us that American hotels will pay $100 per foot of palm tree. Crazy!
After the ride, we got to have a typical Belizean meal. Red beans and rice, fried plantains, and “Choo” chicken. I loved the spices. It was so delicious.
We ate lunch in this awesome hut. (That’s the national flag up there!)
We also saw a baby crocodile!
Michael was so excited to get in a hammock.
The day went so fast and I’d wished we had more time. Bye Belize!
