Belizean Birthday...snorkeling

On our first full day in Belize, we 
took a catamaran sail and snorkel, all day tour. We sailed, snorkeled, sailed to Caye Caulker, ate lunch, then snorkeled with sharks, and sailed back. 

 El capitan...Geraldo
 sailing...
 The island of Caye (pronounced "key") Caulker
 lunch...
 streets of Caye Caulker
 Are we in Hawaii again?!?! No, but there was a guy roasting this pig for dinner for his restaurant!


 Oh my word!
 I was a little nervous...but I did it!!
We bought an underwater camera when we stopped in Caye Caulker. We didn't have one on our first snorkel stop, and there of course, we saw the best fish, and even a sea turtle that came SOO close to us...bummer. So we bought one so we didn't miss out on the sharks and rays...









Fact: Belize is known for its 180 mile barrier reef that stretches the length of the country, very very popular for divers, and snorkelers. 
We didn't really know about the reef until we got there. (I didn't really do a lot of research, just knew of several friends and friends of friends that went there and had a great time=) 
 We just wanted a caribbean vacay=) Pretty beaches and sailing and snorkeling were a huge plus!=)
