A trip to Belize and Guatemala with the fam. Sun, scuba and Maya cities!

Semester at Sea sometimes runs quick reunion trips for alumni and their friends/family. One of my friends was an SASer and decided she wanted to go with them to Belize this winter. I tagged along. The entire thing was only four days, one of which was spent on land. To make the most of it, we did a packaged excursion to Xunantunich, a Mayan site near the Guatamalan border. Also included are a few photos from the ship and the harbor of Belize City where we landed.

It started with an under water video project on sailing yacht ALDEBARAN in Belize and it went on with travelling through this beautiful country with my lovely friend Gwen. The pictures are telling my story ...

Photos and a map of my trip around all countries of the Central American mainland. Hope to be able to translate some of my diary entries someday. Mexico - Belize - Guatemala - El Salvador - Honduras - Nicaragua - Costa Rica - Panama

From 2001-'03 I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer at Hol Chan Marine Reserve in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize. I acted as the biologist and environmental outreach coordinator for HCMR. It was a very fulfilling experience. Belize and San Pedro will always hold a little piece of my heart. Note: many of these pictures are scanned images of film photos and are therefore not of a very high quality. They are here for the content. Sorry!
