"Oh, the places we will go" - Badlands & Belize #atozchallenge

B is both in and out of the USA, standing for the Badlands in South Dakota and Belize in Central America.

We visited the Badlands in 2010, after spending a couple of weeks at bike week in Sturgis, SD. I had traveled all but the six northeastern states and was pretty sure I wouldn't see anything new. Boy, was I ever wrong. It was so amazing and I never fail to recommend it to anyone traveling close to the area. Such diversity, with canyons, ravines, gullies, buttes, mesas, hoodoos and other such geological forms. Lots of photos HERE.

Then there is Belize. We have cruised there a couple of times. On our first trip in 2012 we took an airboat ride. It was my first one and I loved it.

We had a great guide and we got to learn a lot about the local wildlife and plant life. Like this friendly guy who wanted the chicken the guide was holding in the air - just for him.
