One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited a remote 12 acre island in Belize. Beautiful blues skies, fine golden sand beaches, swaying palm trees and a cool island breeze. I explored every corner, watched a pelican hunting, cut down and drank from coconuts, snorkeled around the coral and hunted lobster for lunch. It was a surreal experience.
