Todd and I's first year anniversary is quickly coming up, along with both of our birthdays. So what do we want to do?!See manatees of course! We're hoping to see wild manatees in Caye Caulker near San Pedro, Belize and outside of Belize City. This will be an great opportunity for us to learn more about the manatees in Belize, where they are found, how the tourism industry works around manatees, and to review the companies we go with.
