Belize is rich with experiences. From the snorkel and scuba opportunities on the reef, to fabulous beaches, to lots of islands to explore, to unique and ancient Mayan sites like the ATM Cave. Actun Tunichil Muknal (the Cave of the Crystal Sepulchre). This cave is notable as a Maya archaeological site that includes skeletons, ceramics, and stoneware. Link to a video/audio tour about this underworld attraction in the comments.

Giant Galapagos Tortoises. In their natural habitat🐢

11/13/2024

The Galapagos Islands are a magical place 🇪🇨 Yesterday I hiked, saw red and blue footed bo***es, watched sea turtles mating in the ocean, played with dolphins, snorkeled with sea lions, turtles, Galapagos penguins, and sharks, ate incredible food, enjoyed the pool and hot tub, walked in lava and crawled in lava tubes, stargazed, met wonderful people, and best of all, spent time with my oldest daughter.

Visited the middle of the world yesterday. Learned about the indigenous people and their customs, equator science, took fun photos, and played some fun games. We were there right at noon, which was awesome.

Because I'm overwhelmed by how much I love Ecuador and am going to enjoy the experience in my own head for awhile, let's have a food post to appreciate the deliciousness over the past two days...

Two of the pumpkins in our patch pulled out all the stops this Halloween! Lucy as Lucille Ball, giving out candy to her neighborhood kids, and Kristin as the holiest OG winemaker, pontificating on wine at the winery where she works🍷
