Alpine wildflower

I found these beauties along the Tour de la Vanoise in the French Alps. They appear to be some kind of thistle flower past its prime. I fell in love with their exotic, spindly look.

Reflecting back on what an amazing time I had in beautiful Belize. Known for having the second largest barrier reef in the world, Belize’s mainland also has a ton of amazing things to offer the adventurous traveler. From visiting the spectacular Mayan ruins to exploring caves and the jungle and fabulous mix of culture Belize is pretty unbelizable and is still relatively undiscovered by the mass of tourism (on the mainland). Thank you @gadventures for an amazing trip and I can’t wait to start writing about it! It was my first tour with G Adventures and as a solo female traveler I intend to do more! Maybe I will even bring my husband and kids! #visitbelize

“Go Slow” is the motto here on tiny Caye Caulker where sipping drinks and watching the sunset after a day snorkeling with sharks and rays is what is in order. I loved spending time at this lovely chill place. Awesome Caribbean food and hospitality. It is going to be hard to leave!

Unbelizable Belize never seems to stop amazing me. From the plethora of ancient Mayan ruins to underground water caves to jungle to beach all within one tiny little country. Yesterday I snorkeled the reef with nurse sharks and rays and ended my day at the famous Split for sunset where I watched this man kite surf as the sun dipped below the horizon. Quite an adventurous trip!

Visited the Community Baboon Sanctuary a grassroots organization of private property owners who have pledged their land to protect the Howler Monkeys of Belize. Home to a couple thousand Howlers it was amazing to see how community led programs like this work. I love monkeys and it was fun to see them up so close in the wild. #visitbelize

The highlight of yesterday was a late afternoon tour of the Mayan ruins at Xunantunich. Some of the temples were built as early as 600 AD and there was once a population as large as almost 10,000. Getting to the ruins is half the fun as you ride a hand-cranked cable ferry across the Mopan River with the van! Best of all is we had the entire site to ourselves! A rare luxury in today’s over touristy world! I guess the cruise ship passengers come Tuesday- Thursday mornings so the afternoons are wide open! #visitbelize
