Day One: Arrival in Belize
Everyone arrived at the Belize City Airport and then took a
flight to San Pedro where we took a taxi to TREC. After having some
time to unpack and swim in the pool, we took a golf cart tour of the
island. Ambergris Caye has Front Street, Middle Street, and Back
Street, and so we toured Front Street and Middle Street. Following
the golf cart tour, we took a short hike through a bird preserve and
saw a tree crab, sea grapes, breadfruit, and an inordinate amount of
mosquitoes. We came back to the Center for dinner after which the TREC
director gave us some guidelines concerning our stay. Following a
short quiz on the history of Belize, we had a lecture covering
everything we would see the next day.
