Day 1

We started the day off bright and early arriving at the Louisville International Airport at 5am. From there we traveled to Houston with a quick layover before boarding our flight to Belize.

We landed in Belize at 11:30 local time and packed the van full of all our teaching supplies and personal belongings. From there we took a short drive to Cheers where we had a delicious lunch outdoors taking in the scenery of Belize. We loaded back up and headed to our first hotel, Mayan Mountain Lodge.

After arriving we settled into our rooms and enjoyed some of the great activities they had planned for us. This included: A Belize Detox Green Drink Demonstration, Yoga by the pool, swimming, and dancing with the Garifunas. The Garfiunas are a group native to Belize and their dances are a way to express their culture and history. We will be ending the night with a home-cooked meal by the chefs here at the Mayan Mountain Lodge.
