Belize - a MYRIAD of rare wildlife


Carnival SURE is good at selling their Ports of Call - as if this picture they include isn't amazing enough, here is their description of Belize:
This tropical paradise promises adventure, both onshore and off. Crystalline rivers flow through impressive lowland jungles, home to a myriad of rare wildlife. Silky sand beaches, waving palms and colorful coral gardens are just part of Belize's natural wonders. Whether mountain biking through a lush rainforest or snorkeling with sharks, you'll experience things you've only imagined.

I mean, omg, who does NOT want to experience any of that? Even the words they use for these descriptions - myriad? What a GREAT word!!
