here are some more pictures. I didn't end up taking very many because I didn't want to bring my camera. No reason, it's just a bit clunky.

My Caribbean Adventure

Brian's mom, Kathy, and I just returned from our 7-day Caribbean cruise. We stopped at four ports -- Cozumel, Costa Maya, Roatan, Honduras and Progreso -- and spent 2 days at sea. We had the opportunity to go on a jungle hike (not as exciting as it sounds) and did some sea kayaking through a mangrove... grove? We met some fun people on the boat and had time to go and do, well, nothing.

We went with another couple -- friends of Kathy's -- named Lee and Minerva. They joined us on the "jungle hike" which just about killed Minerva, who had specifically wore her hiking earrings for the adventure.

On our hike in Cozumel, we saw lots (3) of iguanas, some Mayan ruins, including a cave, and lots and lots of dirt.

The ship was huge. It was fully equipped with a casino, 4 or 5 bars, 2 pools, a spa, a fitness room and a Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream.

Every day they would shape the towels into different animals. We got
a manta ray (with chocolates for eyes),

a squid (!?),
a swan,

and a penguin.





I'd like to write more, but I've got to get up around 4:00am to catch a 6:30 flight. Yes, but it will be so good to be home.
