First Days in Belize

After a day of travel, I arrive in Belize about 1pm local time (3pm East Coast).  I hop on a little puddle jumper and fly from Belize City to San Pedro.  As I climb into the seat directly behind the pilot (I could have tapped him on the shoulder), I see this:

So I'm feeling really good about this trip at this point.  The scenery is beautiful and the plane ride was a lot of fun.  We touch down and I grab a cab with another person that arrived with me from our group.  We pull up to the place in which we'll be staying for quite awhile. Not too shabby.

We stay in a hostel like area and the owner of the place is awesome.  He's a fun guy to talk to and he's quite the character. While it looks fun, we're already starting to work on the stuff we have to. Luckily, as you can see with Colin, we get to do our work right next to the pool.

We also have some visitors at the hostel on our first day.

The next spot we go to on the island is the High School.  This and more on the next post.

(Here's a quick video of what we see more than once a day walking around belize.)
