Hello hello! I’m exhausted. Really exhausted. I apologize that this post reflects that exhaustion. It’s a bit all over the place. Belize was absolutely incredible, and coming home was definitely an adjustment. There are so many people in New Jersey. So many people! And so much traffic!

Days 14: Farewell, Belize
Hello hello! Day 14 Today was our last full day in Belize, but we all made the most of it. After our cow-palpating, pig-wrangling day yesterday, we were all pretty wiped out, but we still had a great time on our last day. I don’t think I’ve talked about our breakfasts yet, but I’ve got […]

Day 4: Today was New-Year’s Eve, but that didn’t slow us down! Today was our first time actually assisting in the veterinary clinic. After […]
