Belizean Adventures – Summer 2012 by Jennifer Fernandes
Words can’t express the adventures, memories, and joys that the Belize study abroad group had. I look forward to meeting with our group one more time in a few weeks to relive the experiences.

The Rainforest! by Tait Sorenson
La Paz Waterfall Garden On Tuesday, we headed up the mountain to explore the Poas Volcano and the La Paz Waterfall Garden. Unfortunately, we were not able to visit the volcano due zero visibility.
