Today we went and explored St.
Herman’s cave, went swimming in the (small) Blue Hole, and played a game of
Amazing Race. St. Herman’s Cave was a quite a large cave with stalactites. We
walked for about ten minutes to get to the center of the cave where we learned
about the Mayans and the cave’s relationship. Then, Juan turned off all of our
lights and we had a moment of silence before heading back to the top.
After the cave we got back on the
bus and headed towards the (small) Blue Hole. When we got to the park we sat
down and ate our delicious sandwiches. After
eating we got into our swimsuits excited to jump into cold water. When we got
down to the Blue Hole we played a game of keep-up and set a new Ensworth record
of 220 without out the beach ball touching the water even once.
Before dinner we had a game of
Amazing Race; where three teams competed in a series of challenges to get to
the finish first. The first challenge was a choice between answering corny
jokes and bashing corn to dust. The second was to do an ancient Mayan dance and
sing the Belizean National Anthem. The last challenge was to either identify
five Belizean animals, or have one person act three of them out and the rest of
the team had to guess what the animal was. The winning team was Omri, Jordan
Yi, Alex, Charlotte Anne, and Anisa. We can’t wait to go back to St. Matthews tomorrow!
