We took a long weekend getaway and it was fantastic! We finally found the turquoise water and pristine landscapes we've seen in the guidebooks.
Our little adventure started with a 15 minute plane ride from the mainland to the key. Kyle is displaying the plastic, reusable plane tickets here.
No, there were no metal detectors, no body scans and you definitely didn't need identification for a ticket! Just tell your name and pay some money and you can hop on this plane.
We got to sit in the front of the plane and catch some great panoramic views!
Luggage claim is pretty simple here. No rotating belt - just a concrete patch. :)
Kyle seems to have lost something...
This is us at the outdoor restaurant we ate at every day. Our table was literally on the beach and we had that area all to ourselves every night. It was great! They served fresh ceviche - I lived on it!! I'm glad I didn't know until later that I was eating raw fish. It was delish!!
This is an artistic night shot Kyle took of me.
We snorkeled two days while we were there and it was fun!!! Kyle and I love snorkeling. We saw lots of fish, lots of sting rays, sharks and more!! I loved Shark and Ray Alley best, so we went there both days. Swimming with sharks...what a thrill!
This is part of the barrier reef. I learned that it's the 2nd longest in the world - second only to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. What does it mean? AWESOME snorkeling in Belize! We saw ALL kinds of sea life!
At the end of the day of one of our snorkeling adventures.
This is a cute kittie asleep on our cabana's front porch.
Me in one of the sweet swings at the place we stayed.
View from my swing. ahhhhh......
Kyle, meditative, at the end of our pier. We feel rejuvenated and charged up for more great International Development work this week!
Hi, Linds! I'm SO happy to have found your blog! And so happy to have found you! I've been thinking of you so much lately (probably because of your birthday!). I tried emailing (to an old address), tried calling (although I knew it probably wouldn't work), and finally had a good chat with your MOM! She is so great! So, now I've found you and I've read your entire blog, and I'm excited to read more about your experiences in Belize. I wanted to comment on every post, but I didn't. I am amazed by your photography skills already! I love all the pics! What an awesome experience you are having! I'm so happy for you! Tell Kyle hello from us! Love you! Jen PS, write me if you get a chance at paulandjenthatcher@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteOh, that brings back such great memories....We loved San Pedro and the fact that you have to either take a water taxi or use your bikes.. Makes us so happy to hear you both are having the time of your lives!
