Cruising . . . on a Sunday Afternoon

We can't get too far down the blog without writing about our most recent vacation to Cozumel and Merida, Mexico on a cruise ship, so here are some cool pics from that trip.


Here we are leaving Galveston.

Cozumel was the first stop.
Yes, this is one of the million cheesy pictures they take of you.
This is the only one we liked.

Snorkeling in Cozumel.
The fish will swim right up to you if you keep your hands at your side!


Check out the cute girl at the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza.

Raquel loved the little towel animals, every night was a different one.
The dog was her favorite.

Thailand Orchid - Vanda



We didn't get a lot of orchids to flower this year... but this one makes-up for them all. You are looking at a single stem with 8 flowers. Each flowers is about 5 inches across. Beautiful!
