Hi, this is Kyla. We are not in China! =D (Grandpa complained when I typed “We are in Belize,” so I’m saying we’re not in China instead! XD)
We are at the Black Orchid Resort. Surprisingly, we have internet. We’re using a laptop that they had available for us to use.
We saw Howler Monkeys today. We got to feed them bananas from our hands even though they were wild. One climbed all over Kiera, but when she handed it a banana peel to eat, it sniffed it and threw it on the ground. The one I gave a banana peel shoved the banana peel into its mouth. We also learned how to imitate the big male. We saw three baby armadillos in the jungle too. It was cool because they are normally nocturnal. The guide said it was highly unusual.
Turneffe Atoll, other then having an awesome name(no sarcasm!), was really cool. We saw a dolphin with a skin disease. I named it Skyler. (shyler-shynan-skyler)
We saw….
Green Vine Snake
Spotted Eagle ray
Southern Stingray
Spotted Moray Eel (We saw it very close to shore while we were walking.)
Hogfish (It changed colors from a rusty brown to white in a matter of seconds!)
Stoplight Parrotfish
Sea Cucumbers
BIG Hermit Crabs
Osprey (We saw it flying over us then tuck in its wings and dive. It was very cool.)
Howler Monkeys
….and a ton of other stuff.We miss you guys. (excluding Declan’s screaming)
Love,
Kyla & Kiera =)
