Last Full Day in Glorious Belize

Hello everyone,

We are writing this as the sun is slowly setting over the town of Dangriga, Belize, a wonderful coastal town near the second largest coral reef in the world. We left Flores, Guatemala on Monday morning and crossed the border into Belize. Going through immigration/customs was relatively easy, each student following directions and properly filling out their paperwork.
Belize is a very laid back country. We jammed with Pen Cayetano, the founder of the Garifuna punta rock movement, bought handmade Garifuna drums from a world renowned drum maker and ate some of the best fried food known to man (Highly recommend fry jacks-fried dough bread served at breakfast).

Today, we spent the day out on the water snorkeling and fishing. Three of our students caught enough fish to feed our entire group of 19 people and our wonderful hosts and new Belizean friends.

As this is our last day, we are doing our last minute packing, trying to jam all the souvenirs into our carry-ons and trying to do some last minute laundry. We are ending our trip on a high note with a wonderful party celebration on the rooftop of our hostel.

Airport information for parents are as follows: We will depart from Belize City at 3:50 pm and arrive back in Houston (IAH)at 7:25 pm on Continental Airline flight CO 1652S. Please arrive at the airport no later than 7:30 PM.

See you all tomorrow!
