Hi everyone! I’m coming to you today from the Belize airport! We are on our way back to the States after an amazing trip. We left the sharks, rays, and hermit crabs of Glover’s reef this morning at 6:00 am. The boat ride today was much less choppy than the one on the way to the reef (which was kind of unfortunate because I enjoyed the salty sea spray) and we saw a dolphin and a sea turtle swimming nearby.

We then took a bus from the marina to the airport, breezed through security and immigration, and grabbed some lunch from a restaurant (I had a sandwich).

We will arrive back in Houston around 4:30 pm and are expected to return to campus around 6:00 pm. It’s been an incredible trip thus far and I can’t wait to share all my stories with friends and family back home. That’s for now! – Elise
