Blue Hole National Park 8/21/15

I had a very relaxing day with several Belize friends last Friday as we took a day trip to the Blue Hole in the mountains. and took about a mile hike through the jungle. Instead of writing a big narrative, I'll let this video I put together express the beauty of the day. It was a very humid day, and of course hot, but in the cold waters and shade of the blue hole. It was a special treat.

Moho Caye

A few days ago, last Thursday to be exact, I traveled with the local "Thrill Seeker" group of about 18 by boat to the Moho Caye about 11 miles SE of Placencia and about a 40 minute ride. As you will see from the video (click here to see it on Dropbox,) the ride over was a rough one, reminding me of a really rough roller coaster ride! Once to this small spit of land, we spent the day swimming , snorkeling and eating BBQ chicken and side eats prepared by our boat Captain and his assistant. It turned out to be such a serene day, that my video reflects the general mood most of us experienced. It was such a beautiful day!
Here are two photos, one a view of the island, the other a map of the caye's general location
