First Day in Belize!

Hola! Well, actually we can say hello again! English is Belize's official language, a few of us are still using Spanish though. Today we went and visited Tikal National Park where we got to see more Mayan temples. More temples have been uncovered here compared to Yaxha. We were able to climb various temples and see what used to be palaces. We even climbed a 70 meter tall temple. After walking around these beautiful temples we were served a very good lunch. After lunch we left and drove to the Guatemala and Belize boarder. Tonight we are staying at Pook's Hill resort. We literally have our own individual huts that we stay in with only our roommates. Pook's Hill is also in the middle of the rainforest in Belize. Tonight everyone is sitting around playing guitar, talking, and enjoying each other's company. Tomorrow we are doing cave tubing! Also, if you click on the pictures below you can see a larger version.
