Belize underwater

 Love the snorkeling photos. Thanks for sharing.

What a great collection of photos, Jan!  Thanks for posting them here.  As a non-Facebook user, I would've missed them otherwise!

I love the tiny little crabs -- so cute!  The iguana was cool, but to come upon one unexpectedly would startle me for sure!  I also like how you got so many pics of funny signs.  Maybe I don't want to know the answer, but what is a Chicken Drop?!

It looks like a real tropical vacation -- that hotel right on the sand!  You all look great with your tans, brightly painted toes, and beach wear.  Loved the seashells, palm trees, white sand, etc.  In Oregon, all you ever see at the beach are people bundled up in layers (rarely do you see tanned skin), a broken shell or two, fir trees, wind, etc.  I could almost feel the warmth of sun on my face and sand in my toes when I looked at your photos!  It's been years since I've been on a beach like that.

Sounds like you had an awesome trip!

I just looked at Jan's photos -- and these photos are awesome, too!  I love the sad faced fish -- poor guy -- you can almost hear an Eeyore voice coming from him.  And the Dori fish is cute!  I'd freak out if I saw sharks and eels -- and even though the rays are cool, I'd be afraid of them, too, after knowing how Steve Irwin died.  But I'm a wimp -- so looking at photos like yours are better for me! 

It's so cool that you guys arranged the trip together.  You'll have some special memories of it for the rest of your lives.  Thanks for posting your photos!

Edited to add that I would have loved to see those ruins.  That kind of stuff really gets to me -- seeing/touching things that other people touched so many years ago . . . and knowing they built them without power tools and advances we have today.  Just incredible.

Loved the pictures they are beaautiful, I read the active post as "Belieze underwear though" rofl 

 hahahahahahaha Vivian!!

Maybe I don't want to know the answer, but what is a Chicken Drop?!

LOL!!  It's THE event on the island each Thursday.  There's a big board on the ground with numbered squares.  They pick a tourist (usually a kid) to do the honors of placing the chicken on the board.  That person must also blow up the chicken's butt for good luck.  Whatever number square the chicken poops on, wins.  People place bets beforehand.  The lucky winner gets $100 and gets to clean up the chicken poop! 

It was really crowded so we just went inside the bar there and played on the swings in that one picture.

WOW!  Great fish pics!

Merged per request. :)

Looks like a beautiful place!  So glad you guys had fun!
