My Vacation in Belize

I travelled to Belize in Central America back in November 2007 to visit some distant relatives. I had a fantastic time out there, I went off shore reef snorkling and sore some exotic marine plants, beautiful fish, turtules and also some 8'- 9' nurse sharks. I also went cave tubing, mountain biking, hyking, kyaking, treetop zip lining, site seeing, attended a carnival and met with my grandfathers family for the first time! I stayed for 2 weeks in a beach front villa with my family in a costal village called "Hopkins".
I saw some beach homes that where under construction and was amazed by how cheap they where selling the land for. I took some pictures of the types of houses people where building. The land out there has not really been dicovered, so there is achers of prime real estate going for penuts! Mostly people from the Americas come to live out there, its only a 2 hour flight to Miami! The local people are really friendly and trusting, I remember we stopped at a junction to let this familly hop in the back of our truck and the mother opened the passenger door and handed me there baby! They didnt seen to mind a jott. There a lot of people who cannnot afford cars and walk from A-B so we gave people lifts everywhere we went!
