Sean celebrated his 13th birthday in Belize today - it will be kind of hard to top that next year! We had signed up for the White Water Rafting excursion in Belize, thinking that this would be an exciting way to spend the day. Instead it turned out to be a really hot, really slow, float down a tame river. But we did get to see monkeys, crocodiles, birds, and tons of iguanas!We had his birthday dinner at one of the nicer restaurants, called Tsar's. It was right at the back of the ship, and we went during sunset so that was pretty spectacular! We also got the room deocrated for him, and a decadent chocolate cake, prepared by the ships chefs!! It was so rich, we couldn't even eat it all!!
We don't think that this little taste of Belize did the country justice, and would like to come back and see more of it some time.

We heard the howler monkeys long before we could see them, but we only came across them a couple of times all afternoon.
Happy 13th Birthday Sean....where was our invitation to the party??? Huh Huh!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great way to celebrate your entry into the dreaded (I mean wonderful) teen years!!
I have heard Belize is a beautiful place...good thing the Iguana's stay up high in the trees, as they would scare the crap out of me if I saw one on the ground!!
