Our trip is set.

4 adventurous women who don't know each other have stepped forward and are going with Valerie and Dawn to Belize on October 22.

We are going to immerse ourselves in the country's people, sights, aromas, tastes and sounds.

Here is a little of our trip's highlights:

Day Two-Your Sense of Touch, caving at ATM (the one that you hike 45 min in jungle to get to and then swim 50 ft at the opening...) participants will focus on the sense of touch, coolness, dampness, and also emotional feelings associated with the darkness and difficulty of this adventure.

Day Three-Your Sense of Taste, shopping at local market for ingredients and attending cooking school to learn how to prepare Belizean cuisine. And then of course, enjoying our creations.

Plus,
Silent night hikes in the jungle, morning meditations, spiritual bathing, walks to Hammock Bridge to hear parrots, and more.

If you like what you just read, plan to go with us in 2010!

Val's adventurous side revealed in Belize!

I never expected to be swimming in a dark cave on Christmas morning. We didn't know what to expect during that long bus ride thru the heart of the Cayo district. When we arrived the guide led us through the jungle for about 45 minutes on foot. Then he handed out helmets with lamps, jumped in the water up to his chest and said, "let's go!, stay close behind." Three hours later we emerged into the sun and ate a fabulous lunch....it was absolutely the best experience. And thank God my son loaned me his black t-shirt....
The next day we paddled to San Ignacio, about 2 hours away from the river camp where we were staying. Talk about intimidating...floating down the river in Central America heading for a town we never had been and the only directions where to exit the river at the "concrete block on the left." We did it and had the best tacos in a little place most people in Dallas would never dare go in. I love allowing my adventurous side to come out in Belize. Join us October 22.
