After our morning of zip-lining and repelling, we welcomed a quick Belizean lunch consisting of chicken, rice and beans, with fresh, juicy pineapple for dessert. Now it was time for the six young women and I, to try cave-tubing in the underground caves of the meandering Caves Branch River.  In a weird way, I looked forward to overcoming my fear Continue Reading
