Day 2: New Year's Eve on the island of San Pedro!

On our second day in Belize, we traveled by water taxi to the island of San Pedro.  It took us about 1.5 hours to get to the island from Belize City.  We spent the afternoon snorkeling at shark alley where we swam with the nurse sharks and mantra rays… and yes, we all came back in one piece!  We also went to another location where we saw more of the water life such as sea turtles, lobsters, sea urchins, and a variety of different fish. After snorkeling, we went to Elvi’s Kitchen for dinner where we ate a traditional Belizean meal of stewed chicken, rice, and beans.  To end out 2013 year, we partook in the New Year’s Eve traditions of Belize where some of our students participated in a dance-off with one of the locals.  We celebrated bringing in the New Year and look forward to the knowledge and experiences we will gain 2014!
