This is the Chichen Itza Temple. I think this is where they got all the models for the Book of Mormon Temple.

My friend Lindsey got a huge sunblister after we went snorkeling in Belize. It was her birthday that day so Pete drew a face on it with a party hat. It looked really painful, but she didn't complain at all!

This was a really pretty Cenote we got to swim in. It is this natural water hole thing.

My friends and I had a blast swimming at the beach in Tulum and Playa del Carmen at the end of the trip. This is Rachel, Jen, me, and Nikki posing with our awesome hair and sunburns.

Arielle and I rode in the back of our host family's dad's work truck going about 60 mph. It was an interesting experience and we got lots of weird looks. It took me 1 1/2 hours to brush through my hair after I had showered and conditioned it.

This is the host family my friend Arielle and I stayed with. We are standing in front of the Tuxtla Gutierrez Mexico Temple. It was really interesting to see how families live day to day. The biggest surprise was to find out that middle class in Mexico meand lower class in America. It was awesome to see that even though they seemed poor to us, they had everything they needed and they were satisfied with just their basic needs.

This is Agua Azul where we were able to swim. It was so gorgeous and such a blast.

My Trip to MesoAmerica

I had the opportunity to travel with a group from BYU-Idaho for a study abroad to Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize. It was an awesome experience. We were able to stay in a lot of the rural places and see how people live day to day in a 3rd world country. At the end of our trip we were able to experience more of the touristy part like snorkeling and hanging out on the beach.
