Beliz

In Belize we went tubing down a river in the middle of a rain forest.

The river went through an old Mayan cave that the Mayans thought to be sacred.

We had to walk for about 30 minutes to get to the place where we started in the river.  Jake was super nice and carried my tube for me.

In a few places we saw these ants.  They were carrying leaves.  Our guide told us that you can tell the weather by these ants.  When you see them carrying leaves, they are preparing for a storm, so it will rain in the next 48 to 72 hours.

While on our hike to the starting point, we had cross the river that we were going to float down.  The water was cold!

There were some stairs and steep paths on the hike, but for the most part it was really easy.

Getting all situated in our tubes to start our river run.

We were excited!

It was beautiful.  Lots of really pretty views.

Inside the cave was pretty cool too.  I wish my camera took better pictures.

Going out of the cave.

Having fun on the trip.

More cool parts of the jungle.

After we got done going through the caves, our guide let us get out of the tubes and float and swim in the river.  It was pretty fun to do, but sometimes the water was going fast that it was hard to stand up and get your footing.  It wasn't very deep at all.

After tubing down the river we went shopping for some souvenirs.  After that it was time to get back on the ship so we headed back.  We had a great time floating the river in Beliz.  It was a pretty country and not a lot of people.
