We left our home in the rainforest this morning. It was sad to leave. As I mentioned, we were well taken care of, and I already miss the sound of the howler monkeys.
As many of you who are following my blog from Colorado know, we have a saying that Colorado is often a place where you can ski in the morning, and drive to Denver and play golf in the afternoon. Well, Belize is a place where you can be in the rainforest in the morning, then drive and take a boat and be on an island in the Caribbean in the afternoon. After a 90 minute boat ride, we arrived at Long Caye at Lighthouse Reef Atoll (www.belizeisland.com). We are here because it's an island that is being developed as a model of environmental sustainability, and not a bad place to visit too. It's also quite an amazing place we can add to our destinations for this trip, and not just because it's an island in the Caribbean.
Tomorrow, we will spend some time in "our classroom" reviewing our course materials and the experiences we have had thus far. Tuesday, we will experience snorkeling and SCUBA diving at the Blue Hole, a remarkable site. I'll write more then.
