It’s the last days of our May term and we are leaving to Caye Caulker. We started the morning with the sounds of howler monkeys as we waited for our bus and then traveled to reach Caye Caulker. It took us about an hour by road to reach Belize City to go to San Pedro Belize Express Water Taxi and from there, it was an hour to reach Caye Caulker through the water taxi!

The rest of the day was for ourselves. I had a Cuban sandwich at a restaurant by the beach.

and the rest of the day was spent at the beach sunbathing!

Nervousness, a close sense of relief, and a wasp in the room – it’s presentation day! It was a long day ahead of us since we had morning and afternoon sessions for the presentations, but it was worth it to see the results of everyone’s research of the last three weeks. Seeing how everyone’s topic was different and in some ways overlapped with other topics reflected how we took a different take on this experience. After presentations, we had the day to ourselves- either taking time to rest or continuing the day in the pool, and to end the day we had a great dinner and dessert!
