Wednesday

Wednesday was scheduled as a stay-at-home day to recover from the full day in Belize City Tuesday and prepare for another full day traveling to the Mayan ruins in Xunantunich on Thursday. And it was a lovely day of rest. Just ask Ezra.

We had cannonball splash contests.

Papa's cannonball splash

And swim races (Bruce beat Erin by a nose).

Ready, set, go, go, go!

And kayaking excursions off the dock.

And off they go

Ezra floated.

And Finn splashed …

… himself in the eye.

Water in the eye

And Bruce and I got to go on a date! We went to the restaurant at Portofino resort. We walked up the beach — about a 35 minute walk — and we got to see the progression from dusk to night with a full moon. As we left the house, the sky looked like this.

Sky 1 - leaving Los Encantos

About halfway up, it looked like this.

Sky 2 - about 1/2 hour into the walk

The restaurant is on the second floor and this was the view just after we sat down.

Sky 3 - view from the restaurant

And, finally, darkness with the moonlight reflecting on the water. Beautiful!

Sky 4 - later at the restaurant
