Central American Adventure June 7



On June 7th we stayed in Corozal in Northern Belize. We visited the beautiful Mayan Archaeological site Lamanai meaning "Submerged Crocodile." The site had to be reached by a scenic boat ride down the New River, which we nearly missed because the public bus took more than an hour longer than expected. Finally, at one bus stop (where the bus was going to have an unanticipated 20 minute wait) we managed to find a phone where we called the guide. He told us to get off the bus (we were still several miles from the destination) and he would come pick us up. Because of his kindness we were able to make the boat and visit Lamanai. We spent the day climbing the massive limestone pyramids and listening to more howler monkeys howl.
