Belize: A Travel Photo Essay

Unique Kayaking Experiences

Underwater Scenes

Paradise Beach Huts

I was squirted with ink by a surly squid, got up-close with an octopus, snorkelled in a mangrove stand, sailed a kayak, paddled to a Smithsonian Marine Institute, paddleboarded offshore a desert island and ate lots of Marie Sharp’s hot sauce.
