Belize Day Two: Placencia

Roberto is a naturally amazing guide.  He picks up on body language and designs itineraries based upon his clients’ greatest needs.  He could tell after an evening at the zoo that we would get bored spending another day there, and so drove us to the only true beach in Belize:  Placencia.  Think picture-perfect post card scenery.  White sand beaches, palm trees, and all of the most brightly colored furniture and painted houses you could dream of.  We spent the next day lounging in the sun, playing in the surf, eating great food, and in the evening, dancing along to a local drumming performance.  It was the type of recuperating that everyone needed after just finishing a final semester of university, and for me, it meant some great early morning beach jogging. 

 Alli is our beautiful timid baby deer that has turned into a wonderful risk taker.  She was one of the few to have never traveled out of the country and is doing a great job!

 The local children aren't aloud to wear nailpolish to school, and so when this little girl found out that Alli had brought nail polish with her (really?), she was all about painting Alli's nails.

 Chelsea, this is why I get up early to run.

 Three-legged dog talent.  I've honestly never seen so many tripod dogs in my life.
