Nice To Be Back, Belize!
After Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, and Honduras, it was Belize for us. It felt good to be back. Marc and I were here exactly a year ago. Unlike last year when we visited some Mayan ruins, we visited the Belize Zoo and then viewed some howler monkeys in the wild this time around. Because of the location of the zoo, this shore excursion lasted an entire day. It was tiring but we enjoyed ourselves. It certainly gave us the opportunity to see a lot of the Belize countryside as well as the city itself.

This was the mini talk we had with some locals as to the Belize way of life
The hut we were in had this thatched roof. It reminded of the houses in my native Philippines in the olden days.
Walking deep into the forest to view the howler monkeys
The howler monkeys were so tame. They came down from the trees to feed on some leaves our guide gave them. So fascinating to see them so close.
