Everyone was excited about their prospective destinations.
The snorkeling crew started in Belize City. From there, they took a water taxi to Caye Caulker and then got on the snorkeling boat. They spent about three hours with wonderful guides and saw coral, many fish, nurse sharks, and sting rays. The water, the sea life, and the views were gorgeous. They had lunch and did some shopping on the Caye. I think the pictures speak for themselves.
The Mayan Ruins group chose to go to Caracol. It was about 60 miles from Belmopan, but took 3.5 hours to get to because it involved traveling mostly on dirt roads filled with many potholes. To get to this area, one has to be escorted by the military because it is very close to the Guatemala border. Bob is currently participating in the excavation of another ruin in Belize, so it was very interesting to have him be the tour guide. Again, the pictures speak for themselves.
This group also went to the 1000 Ft. Falls.
Because of the dirt roads and open windows, we got pretty dirty.
Once everyone got back to camp, we went to a bonfire for youth at the church. We had fun singing and worshiping with our friends one last time. We got ice cream on the way back to camp to celebrate Tracy's birthday.
We closed our evening with a last worship service back at in the chapel at Camalote Camp. Kofi joined us and we celebrated communion. Kip was very smart and chose this service (where no one had a camera to document it) to sing and dance with Kofi to "I Looked Down the Road." I can attest to the fact that he did it, but there is no photo documentation to prove it to the outside world.
