Day Twenty Four in Belize:

     Today is the day, our last day before leaving for home. I am starting to get excited but I am sad that I am leaving this beautiful country. It has been a great experience to see everything and meet so many different people. The food will definitely be missed of course. Today most of us skipped breakfast because this place called, Glenda's was closed so I just slept in until about 9:30 this morning.
     We went to go snorkeling today for a couple of hours and we visited two different coral reefs and an area that had stingrays and sharks that we got to swim with and pet them. The guides would throw in food for the sea creatures to eat while we watch, pet, and take pictures with them. The shark skin felt like a cheap thing of sandpaper and the stingray just felt like wet rubber. I have been around these animal before, but not in the wild and not this big in size. That was our first stop. Our next two stops were beautiful coral reefs. The first one lasted about 45 minutes and we just followed our guid while he showed us all the different coral and fish on the way down the path. We saw three eels that were probably the scariest thing I have seen the whole time we were snorkeling (yes that includes the sharks and stingrays). Whenever you got close to the eel, it would come right for you with its razor sharp teeth ready to bite and sting you. So we just swam away after seeing that for a couple of minutes while the guid was messing with it. We saw so many different kinds of fish, but unfortunately, I had taken so many pictures at the first stop that I only had a couple pictures left for the rest of the snorkeling time we had. Stupid of me. So I just took the rest of the pictures of the coral and hopefully got some of the fish in them.
     After that stop, we went to our final stop. This stop was do whatever you wanted place. It just mainly just coral with a small amount of fish so there was not a lot to see but it was not to see the coral up close without someone guiding you the whole time. Now I want to go snorkeling at other places to see what all they have. When we were done there, we headed back to the boat and went back to the shore.
     We skipped lunch because we were going to get a big dinner that would cost a lot of money so we just did not eat until then. We just relaxed until dinner. We had a few different choices for dinner, so I had boneless chicken breast that was really good. It came with coconut rice and shrimp. It was worth the wait. After dinner, I went to go get some ice cream since this was our last night here. We all went our separate ways again and are now relaxing by doing our own thing. Tomorrow is going to be a long day, but I am ready to go home for a while before school starts up again.
