Belize

One year ago today, this is where I was, honeymooning in Belize.


We stayed at the Coco Plum Beach Resort, which is a tiny resort on the Coco Plum Caye.  The food wasn't amazing, but it was good.  The cabana we stayed in was comfortable and private and the Caye was incredibly low-key.  At the end of the week, there was only one other couple on the island besides Hubs and me. 


The resort was perfect for privacy.

Everyday we were taken to the Belize Barrier Reef a few miles away, it's the second largest in the world after the Great Barrier Reef.  The snorkeling was amazing, and the water was crystal clear and warm.  We saw fish all the colors of the rainbow, rays, starfish, an eel, and a lobster.  We took amazing underwater photos, but all the photos tragically erased during the flight home.  I'm still recovering from the loss.  I will never, ever buy another Vivitar product.

We hiked Mayan ruins in Xanantunich:

The stars in Belize are unlike stars I've seen anywhere.  The night sky there was a blanket of stars.  It was beautiful and unexpected.  I can't wait to go to another part of the world with a night sky of that intensity.
