Our inland adventure was truly an adventure. Every day had it’s own surprises and as Dr. Kubasko has said, “Life is an adventure- Embrace it.” Traveling in itself was crazy getting onto different buses and taxis. We drove through a wild fire like it was no big deal and put as many people on school bus as possible. The main attractions we visited were the Belize Zoo, Tikal, Actun Tunichil Muknal cave tour, Caves Branch, and River Tubing. All I can say is that each had it’s own amazing thing about it. We had to travel over the border into Guatemala for the day to Tikal and I forgot that every other country in Central America speaks Spanish so I had to dig deep for that! In all of this, the Mayan culture was such a focus and really where these tours and explorations originated from. I really appreciate that piece of history now!
We traveled into San Ignacio for most of our trip and it is a completely different place than San Pedro. Whenever we told people we were teaching on the “island” they would all tell us what a fun place, or that everything is so expensive, or its just so laid back. I really began to view San Pedro as my “home” during my time here and missed the turquoise waters and white sandy beaches while we were away. In our time there we met a few teachers at some of the schools. Hearing about their classes and comparing ours was interesting. I’m extremely thankful to be in San Pedro than in San Ignacio. It appears there is more poverty and crime in that area and why have that when you can be in a place that is laid back, comfortable, and enjoyable. But if you’re in Belize you’re in Belize and you will love it!
