Belize...We Love Snorkeling!

After our time in Honduras we went to Belize to celebrate our 10 and 11 year anniversaries. Last year we had been in the states right before our 10 year anniversary, so we were not able to celebrate last year. We took a 2 hour ferry (larger speed boat) from Puerto Cortes, Honduras to Placencia, Belize. The ferry on leaves Honduras once a week and returns once a week, so we had limited time to explore Belize.

We opted to stay at the beach and to go snorkeling since Belize has the second longest Barrier Reef in the world and we had heard it was beautiful. We spent time relaxing on the beach, taking in some sun and of course a lot of snorkeling. We did 2 full days of snorkeling and saw the most underwater sea life we have ever seen. We recently had to buy a new camera because my camera broke, so we bought an underwater camera and boy are we glad we did. Check out the pictures and tell me if you are.
