And while she didn't place or make it to the semi's when we met with Halima at the airport this morning she said she was grateful:

Halima Hoy, Miss Universe Belize
"I am feeling incredible to be welcomed by the drums and welcomed by the amazing people at BTB. I feel so proud to be back home after representing my country."

"It was like emotions building up we had a lot emotions, I felt sad at some point well not sad but just more like doubting myself a little but and at some point I feel excited just normal emotions that you go through when you are about to experience a huge life event but when I got on the stage I can tell you that all of that went away the pride of my country took over and I felt pretty comfortable on that stage so I'm proud of that."
