This weekend we headed out (finally) to the Cayes. We took a water taxi from Belize City - here's a shot of Steph, Lee and Sarah waiting by the harbour. All the sailboats in the background are a classic shot of Belize city.
The taxi ride in was a little over an hour long. Almost the entire time there seemed to be this white line in the distance. Turns out it's the barrier reef! There are big waves where the water meets the coral because it's so shallow. Pictures never do what you're seeing justice, but here's what it looked like.
We were in San Pedro to visit a former volunteer Kate and her local boyfriend, Bigs. Bigs works at a Dive shop and Kate has some friends so we had the hook-ups! We got snorkel gear on Saturday for $5 Am each and set out on a friend's boat. We did two stops: Tuffy's Canyon and Dos Cocos. The water was pretty rough so we had to be careful but either way it was really cool - and now we can say we've snorkeled the second biggest barrier reef in the world! Yay!That night we went to Sarah and Will's (An American girl and local guy) place and had a BBQ - homemade tortillas, fresh snapper - yummy! It was an all-round great weekend by the sea. Here's our smiling faces - Lee can't keep his eyes open for pictures - but big smiles!!
Love to all,

Hey Nancy, when did you start dating grizzly adams? Lee, that beard is getting thick! awwww yeah!
Nan and Lee,
I love the pictures and all your stories. I'm wildly jealous of your adventures but that's not the point. Keep having a wonderful time so that I can live vicariously through you both. And go to Costa Rica when you're finished in Belize... it's amazing!
Much love,
Meggy
My dear Princess and Grizzle
More pictures, more postings!
Lots and lots of love
Mum
Hey Guys
I love the blog site, I have been tracking it each week and print off the pages as you add for Nan and Pap. They are really happy to see you guys are safe and having a good time.
P.S. Lee , your mom dad and Troy left for DR on Saturday I tend to believe their trip may be slightly more traditional than yours.
Enjoy......

Hey Lee and Nancy,
Did you hear that Justin and I are going to have a baby? My first ultrasound is in less than 2 hours. We are excited. I am hoping to get a video so that I can show everybody. Justin wants a girl but I would love a baby boy. Hope all is well. Lee, that is quite the beard you have going on there. BEASTY!! Well see you when you get back, probably at Christine's reception. Until then, enjoy. Peace. Alana (Justin and baby)
Hi Nancy and Lee. Hope all is well. Sorry we didn't get sending an email before now. We have been busy, but i will explain when you are home.
It's awesome what you two are doing. It must be difficult to see all the poor and sick kids, but at the same time so rewarding that you are teaching them.
I was at your dad's 60th, woops! Ha ha, 50th birthday party on the weekend. It was really nice to see everyone. I hadn't been home since Christmas, which is a long time for me.
Nathan is busy with school, friends and poker. Kev has a rugged look like you. As Alana put it, BEASTY.
Hope you and Nancy are eating well and getting lots of rest. It is quite the experience.
I am looking forward to hearing more about your experiences when you come home.
Take Care. We send all our love, from Nanny, Judy, Nate, Kev and the gang.
P.s. Nanny was so pleased to get the postcard in the mail and your grandma mentioned it to me to
