My trip down to Punta Gorda

For our Education Field Trip we took a beautiful trip down the Hummingbird Hwy to Punta Gorda on the coast. We were able to see several differnt schools and get a better idea what Education in Belize is like. I loved how all the school houses were brightly colored.
We did run into a little trouble on the way back though. During the rainy season the bridges tend to flood and sometimes even wash away! It had been raining for several days and the water had come up very high. So we had to wait for the workers to replace the washed away soil leading up to one of the main bridges in Belize. We finally made it across just in time to see an amazing firefly show in the jungle.
