Today was our first full day in Belize! The morning came very early, earlier than we had planned. We were so excited for our first day seeing Belize. Almost everyone woke up at 5:30 am to birds chirping and the sun shining in our windows. While some of us cleaned up, others played and laid around in the hammocks. We had breakfast at 7:30 and packed up our headed out for another adventure.
We drove through the countryside, through villages and some forested areas. We stopped along the way to get a snack at a local shop and enjoyed our first ice, cold drink since the airport. We played a game called assassin the whole bus ride and it was a blast. When we finally got to our destination we ate a delicious lunch and hiked down to a bunch of little waterfalls and swam for a very long time. The place where we swam was a bunch of small pools with small waterfalls called Rio On Pools! Everyone absolutely loved sliding down the smooth parts of the tiny waterfalls! If you didn’t want to do that you could swim in the small pools or jump off the edge of a rock into a particular pool. There was one pool where you couldn’t even touch the bottom unless you went completely under for a couple of feet. After a while some people got bored of fighting the current and decided to jump off the edge of a rock that Mr. Murray said the bottom was deep enough that you wouldn’t hurt yourself. Spencer won the award for the biggest splash with Joey coming right behind him in second!
After we were finished swimming, we got on the bus and drove to the place where we will be staying for the next two nights. Everyone unpacked and hung around for about two hours or so and then we did an activity based off the personality survey and our leadership styles and had a delicious dinner of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and salad! Overall it was a very great day of swimming and seeing the scenery!
