Arriving in Caye Caulker!

We have officially arrived in Caye Caulker! We were definitely excited to step foot on the white sand beaches here - especially knowing that there's a blizzard back home!

Here's what Elizabeth has to say about the day:

My day began this morning at 5:30 when I woke up to get the cooks with Christy and Mrs. Taylor. I'm not a morning person, but there's something so beautiful about this land here. It's sometimes foggy at that time of morning, but you can still see the beautiful mountains in the distance when you get to the top of the hill.

We had a brunch since we were leaving today around 1. We had chicken, rice and beans, egg salad and doughnuts. Oh my goodness the doughnuts were delicious!!! I had four doughnuts, but I don't feel bad about that because my good friend Felicia had five doughnuts and one doughnut hole!

After brunch, we packed up and waited for about an hour and a half until we departed for Belize City, Belize. I don't remember much of that bus ride. All I can say is I got in a good nap! We soon arrived to Global Village where we dropped off some of our luggage and then continued on to the water taxi which would be taking us to Caye Caulker. The boat ride was not bad. I fell asleep for part of it and then watched the sunset - which was gorgeous. When we arrived in Caye Caulker, we walked to our hotel then went to dinner.

We are now in our rooms and getting ready for bed and a great day tomorrow here in Caye Caulker. Goodnight!

Love,

Elizabeth

While our days of all living in one dorm room are over, our adventure is continuing. It's so weird only going to sleep with three of my peers (shout-out to my awesome roommates - Erin, Felicia, and Elizabeth!) in the same room as me, but we are all excited to adventure here on the island. This is definitely the most breath-taking view I have ever seen in my entire life. 

Well, it's off to bed for us! Getting up at 5:00 AM to watch the sunrise will come early, but it will be so worth it! Although I'm feeling a little sentimental as this will be my first ocean sunrise without my mom beside me. I love you, Mom!
