Final post from Belize - Grp 2
Hey everyone!
We arrived yesterday at Banana Bank after two relaxing days at the island. We were so excited to see our rooms with mosquito nets and showers with warm water. We got to just lay out by the pool and swim while enjoying delicious smoothies. Then we rode horses through the jungle which was so fun even though Sarah’s horse kicked Mary Etta in the knee and Alex’s horse bucked and took off running. After the horse ride we enjoyed a bonfire with hotdogs and marshmallows. When we got back to our rooms we were ready to take warm showers and relax, but that didn’t last long. The boys came running into our room when they heard us screaming over a 6 inch roach beside our bed. It wasn’t just any roach…I’m pretty sure we could’ve ridden it. Sarah was near tears over this roach, but luckily Mike Z saved the day.
Today we went to the Mayan Ruins, the Clinic, and the Zoo. We are all so exhausted from the long walks. We are ready to see everyone tomorrow!

Group III Final Photo Update
Group III ended the trip with a packed day of adventure and culture. From rock climbing waterfalls inside a cave to a jungle hike to playing with the kids in our sister village of Armenia, everyone in the group had a fantastic day. In fact, all the conversation tonight centers around not wanting to leave. Tomorrow is the reunion in the airport, which will be special given that the groups have not seen each other since last Saturday, and I'll admit that seems like a long time ago. I am so proud of the way the Class of 2012 has conducted themselves on this trip! Tomorrow, we are homeward bound...
