build a sand castle

When we were in Guatemala, my daughter and I were amazed by the Mayan temples. So when we went to Belize later in the week, we just had to build a sand temple! With no tools, it’s much harder, but we found a piece of plastic, a stick, and a cup from the hotel.

With a few tools and some time you can actually build a beautiful sand castle. I’ve built several now, and find it is very relaxing and rewarding. The key: mix water with sand in a big pile, until it turns into a kind of cement. Then start carving!
