From Nicole...


Hey guys!! We’ve had a great time so far! After we got here, we hung out at the Jaguar Preserve. It’s really pretty. I’ve heard howler monkeys and lots of birds. On the second day, we took a hike right after breakfast. It was three hills to 1,500. It was hard, but we were rewarded with a fun swim in the waterfalls. It was nice to cool off. I learned that Juan was one of Bear Grylls’ guides when he was in Belize. The way back was nice because it was mostly downhill. Then, during the hottest part of the day, we just laid around and played Twister. That night, we took a night hike. Even though there were lots of spiders, we also saw some cool beetles, a tree frog, and heard twigs snapping. We slept really well that night. Yesterday, we packed up and went to the Mayan Museum. We made corn tortillas, learned about how the Mayans lived, and played Mayan instruments. Then we went to a shrimp farm where they also grow fruit. I tried a lot of new fruits. We also found two tarantulas. After lunch, we saw the shrimp. We came back, and after a while, we took a swim in the river. After dinner, we played Mafia and went to bed. Right now, I’m just eating breakfast.
Love you guys, miss you guys!
Nicole
