Greetings from beautiful Southwater Caye

Today the first thing we did was kayak across the Caribbean to a research center, it was soooooo hard!!!!! Then when we were at the research center we went snorkeling, it was awesome!!! We then came back and ate lunch, laid out on the dock and went snorkeling again. This place is so pretty I absolutely love it here! I have already had so much fun on this trip and I can’t wait to go to the other places!!

We just went to the Smithsonian research station which is on an island near southwater. After we kayaked out there a scientist showed us the research house and told us about some sweet biology stuff.

Yesterday I had to save Reb from a gigantic shark. Luckily I kept my harpoon gun handy and was able to save him just as it was getting his arm so he only lost his right hand, which Ms. Dunne knit back on. All of the boat rides have been awesome, I would be happy just spending the days riding around in the boat looking around. Everything here is chill and it’s been nice to just take a break and relax.

We’ve been snorkeling four times so far and will be going night snorkeling tonight. Hermit crabs are everywhere along with starfish. Tonight’s our last night here. –Lindsey


Well, we are on an awesome island in the Carribean, so there is not that much to complain about. I had a terrible stomache ache yesterday, but that I probably due to the fact that I had eight snickers and ten fanta. We were on the sand bar yesterday and a leapord spotted stingray came up to us, and needless to say, we all freaked out and ran back to shore. I love belize.

I drowned the first time and my pants fell off when I snorkled. I had to ride on Alexandra back to shore…. I said I wouldn’t do it again. Needless to say I did I realized that a life jacket would help… also Ive been called a 10 year old Mexican girl a little too much… apparently it’s the tan… but its all good : ) also Steven is trying to be a Russian model with gabby’s tanning oil and grace is trying to be a burnt potato chip. Thomas is getting annoyed with the sea cow. Brooks is also getting killed every night in mafia. Zis is greatt
