We arrived in Punta Gorda, in Southern Belize from Guatemala on Friday. We spent the day kayaking up a crazy mangrove stream and swimming the in Carribean. We ate at a fantastic restaurant overlooking the water, where I had my first plate of rice and beans, the Belizian staple. Matt also ate some of the cook's homemade hot sauce-it looked for a moment like he might pass out from the pain.

We spent a night in Placencia, a quiet little pennisula. Here's a photo of Matt in the beautiful blue water.

We then moved on to Dangriga, the second biggest city in Belize. We just spent the night, then went out to a beautiful island called Tobacco Caye. The island is only about five acres, so there's not much going on but swimming and snorkeling, which is exactly what we did for two days. (our guide book likened it to Gilligan's Island). We had a fantastic time relaxing and playing in the water. We saw big rays, a squid, and some really unique fish while snorkeling. Matt even got in a bit of fishing time off the porch of our cabana and caught a baby baracuda. We're now on Caye Caulker, a island just southeast of Belize city, and have snorkeling trip planned for tomorrow.
