The Caribbean, between Belize City and Ambergris Caye

Just back from the Belize Tourism Board’s first sponsored travel bloggers’ trip!

With a pool of incredible photos due to trickle in throughout this week, I’m choosing to wait to share all my thoughts with you on this gorgeous, wild country until I can really show you what I found in the jungles, on the rivers, and by the sea.

But to whet your travel appetites, here are a few of my favorite photos from my week in Belize!

    You’re welcome, Lisa! For such a small country, there are about a dozen different versions of Belize — I’ll be writing about many of them next week. :)

    Gorgeous shots, Melanie! I’m so sad I missed it! Ah, Belize…

  4. Melanie says:

    Well, you might have missed Belize, but I missed you!

  5. GOR-geous !! My favorite is that fisherman throwing the net. What a Kodak moment, how fabulous that you “caught” it on film ;)

    Thanks for bringing me right back to each place above. I’ll never tire of looking at all of our photos for sure…

  6. Melanie says:

    Kerrin, this is high praise coming from you! Now, back to Belize, anyone? Anyone?
