Day 1

Arrival 🛬🚐🏞
Belize wasn't ready for these Americans! Or maybe we weren't ready for Belize. We're all so tired from the flight, and the humidity was a huge shock. On the bright side, our drivers are so nice and have made us feel at home. Our first night we're spending at the Tropical Education Center. The T.E.C. is a center for education and outreach. They host many colleges and universities from across the world, but they strive to educate Belizeans as well on tropical ecology and preservation. 

Dinner 🍽🍌🍲
Home cooked meals? Yes please, and I wouldn't mind seconds. 
Presentations 📝📢🎬🎤
After dinner, our hosts gave us a presentation that pumped us up for the week. We saw all the different flora and fauna that we might come into contact with, and learned about problems with poaching. 

Black Light Bug Party 🐜🦂🕷🐝🐌🐛🐩
Did you know that certain types of insects are flourescant and will "glow" under a black light? Check out this Slender Brown Scorpion that we found. 

Bedtime 😴😴😴
These were our accommodations for the first  night. Camping with Style!
