I was watching a movie the other day and started thinking about how I missed some of the places I’ve been. What are some of the coolest places you’ve been? Have you ever been anywhere that you just long to go back to? What did you bring home to remember it by? Edited to add: What did you love about that place?
I have been very blessed to have had a few epic traveling opportunities. When I was about 9, my grandparents paid for allllllll my family (parents, sisters, brother, aunts, uncles, and cousins) to go on a cruise. I think the coolest place I went was Belize. The roads were reddish dirt and the buildings were faded shades of yellow and peach. And the ocean, ah. The ocean was crystal clear and calm as could be. We took a boat out to a part of the coral reef, which is the second largest in the world. The boat beside us saw a sea turtle, and there were nurse sharks and sting rays. I don’t remember that part too well, except that it got super grey and cold. Eventually the sun came back and we went and ate our lunch on a little island. The boat tour guides had brought these little bags of water, which was fun. You had you tear the corner with your teeth and drink it all at once. A dolphin swam alongside the boat for a little bit, and played in the wake. After that we went out to a clear, open area and swam. There were dozens of nurse sharks and sting rays. And they boat guides just threw us in with a pair of goggles, not even a life jacket! I don’t have any pictures since it was so long ago. I bought some wooden bead bracelets, and they gave me some of my change as Belize 1 cent coins. Its been nearly 8 years. I would love to go back someday.
