Belize - Day 4

Today was such a relaxing day.  We didn’t have any appointments or certain times we had to be anywhere.  We started out the day sleeping in (just until 8).  Then we went to breakfast at a little restaurant called Martha’s.  We ran a couple of quick errands with Dad and then headed out to the San Ignacio Inn where they have an incredible Iguana exhibit. We got to go inside the exhibit and had the iguanas climbing all over us.  It was so cool. Except for when they climbed on me…I didn’t like it at all. 

 Our next stop was Xunantunich, some more Mayan ruins.  We took a little crank ferry across a river (where we saw some wild Iguanas).  There was a HUGE structure that we climbed to the top of.  You could literally see all over the valley.  There were some guards on the top that even pointed out the Guatemala border.  This country is so beautiful.

We had a quiet dinner at Ko-ox-Han-Nah.  They call it Hannahs.  I guess it means “Lets go eat”.  We are having fun experiencing all of Granny and Grandpas favorite places to eat.  We will have another relaxing day tomorrow.

we thought this sign was funny

 Another funny sign.  Were they trying to imitate the "Hyatt"?

Playing around while we waited for Grandpa at the church.  Seth decided to climb the water tower while we all took a nap.  It was SOOOO hot!

 At the iguana exhibit.  He showed us a nest of 2 just hatched humming birds.  It was so sweet!

This one was pregnant!

 Seth got close to kiss this iguana and you can see in the next photo that it whipped him with its tail.  It nearly fell out of his hand but caught on at the last second!

 We ate our tiny bananas as a snack
