I got back to the ship from semester break on the 26th. It was really great to be able to see everyone again. There are a lot of new kids. So far they all seem to be very friendly. I got a bottom bunk this semester which made me very happy. I’m in watch 4 this semester and my watchdog is Ms. Williams again! It’s going to be a great semester.
On the 27th there was a port program that all the students went on. We drove for about an hour to get to a river. At the river we got into boats. Like we don’t spend enough time in them already! It was really cool though. We were in the jungle so we saw spider monkeys, crocodiles and a huge snake. We rode the boats to Lamanai, a Mayan ruin. It was the longest occupied Mayan site. We got a tour to all the different ruins. Everyone climbed up to the top of a bunch of the temples. One of them was huge! We also got a traditional Belize lunch of fried chicken, rice with beans and coconut milk and potato salad. It was a really cool port program. After we returned from the port program a bunch of us went out for supper in Belize City.
The next day was full day shore leave and I went scuba diving with some friends. We did two dives. It was incredible diving. We saw lionfish, rays and turtles. The coral was also some of the most beautiful coral that I’ve ever seen. The dive instructor was also tons of fun and really good so it made for a great day. For supper we went to the Radisson and then went swimming in their pool so that we could make use of their showers. Our water maker broke so we can no longer make water until we get parts in Dominican so no fresh water showers for two weeks!
