The Belize expedition has been a great experience. So far I have been to Banana Bank and Caves Branch. At Banana Bank the main activity was horseback riding. This was a fun but painful experience that showed us the jungles of Belize. Banana Bank had many interesting animals, including a jaguar and a fanta-drinking monkey. These made the stay there very interesting. My next stop was Caves Branch, where I am currently located. Unable to participate in many of the activities here such as the rappel and the waterfall cave explorations, Mr. Hillard and I have been able to relax a little. It has been a good experience to get to know him again after not having him as a teacher since middle school. I look forward to our visits to the village of Armenia, where we will help the school children. I also can not wait for the soccer game we will attend tomorrow night. This expedition has been fun so far and I'm ready to get to do something after a couple of restful days.
