Put Belize on Your Bucket List. Now!

I took a little break from blogging last week. Reason? A fabulous trip to Belize! 

I love traveling and you have read about many a place I visited and that I would recommend for you to add to your travel destinations. And Belize took my breath away - I will write several blogs about the various aspects of the trip. Stick around and check back in in the upcoming weeks!

First stop - the rain forest! Nature is definitely a focus of my travels - the flowers, the trees, the mountains, the lowlands ... Take a look at the lush colors of the Sleeping Giant Rainforest Lodge where my friend and I stayed. We visited another location but about I will tell you about that one later ...

I spent a lot of time roaming the grounds, breathing in the warm air and enjoying the views. Here are some notable moments ... 

- Observed an orange tree for so long that it is now imprinted in my heart - a precious image to remember

- Climbed a mountain through rain forest to arrive at an open space and have my breath taken away by the beauty of the landscape

- Sat by the river and watched it go by peacefully, elegantly, with purpose yet no purpose 

- Watched a dragon fly and it's reflection in the water - a lovely dance in the air that got altered by the motion of the river

Belize is breathtakingly beautiful - the rain forest is so rich with textures and colors! I definitely encourage you to plan a trip there. I bet you will experience many memorable moments yourself!
