Over Spring Break, members of Spanish 3 and Spanish 4 spent spring break discovering all of the amazing culture of Belize. The first day of the tour, the group tried it ziplining. After a traditional Belizean lunch of chicken, rice and beans, they visited a hot sauce factory and got to try a number of different peppers and sauces. Then they traveled to Xunantunich, a beautiful Maya city and climbed the Pyramid there. They could even see Guatemala, less than a mile away! On their second day in Belize, the group started their day in a women's cooperative learning the traditional Mayan methods to make pottery and corn tortillas. In the afternoon, they canoed in the Macal River to experience the flora and fauna. They dropped toucans, iguanas, a white hawk, some howler monkeys and more. On Day 3 of the Belize trip, students were surprised with a side trip to swim in a Cenote called the Blue Hole. Then, they went cave tubing. It was really cool (and a little scary) when everyone turned off their lights. They saw the areas of the caves that the Mayans used for a variety of ceremonies. In the evening, they went to a Garifuna museum to learn about their unique culture. Next Friday, we will share a summary of days 4-6!
