Time to catch up on the latest!
For Spring Break we went on a Carnival Cruise. I love the ocean. I
really love the ocean. There's just something peaceful and amazing and
spiritual to look at water going on forever and knowing there are people
somewhere on the other side of that who are brothers and sisters.
Anyway, tangent. This trip was supposed to be our honeymoon. While we
were engaged, Matt purchased the trip with some sweet deal he got. THEN
he asked "Do you want to go to Mexico?" "Not really." He didn't mention
having bought the trip until after our honeymoon in Disneyland. "You
BOUGHT it and THEN asked me!?" It was a fantastic trip tho. I have
finally stepped into another country! Here are some pictures!
 |
| Cute towels in our room! |
 |
| Matt's pic of Mexico |
 |
| Mexico.. McDonald's. Really? Lame! |
 |
| Looking down at the Blowhole |
 |
| Here it comes! |
 |
| Splash! Nice! |
 |
| Only 3 places like this in the world! |
 |
| Matt took A LOT of pics of the water so he could paint some scenes like his grandma. He's already done one, and it's LOVELY! |
 |
| Churros in Mexico = heaven! Notice the hat.... plastic, but smells like leather :) |
There was a HUGE market you had to walk thru to get to the blowhole. My
favorite moment was one man shouting "CIGARS!" ... "I don't smoke!"
Matt shouts back. "Maybe you should start!" He hollers backs!
 |
| Ok, so it's the wall in our room, but honestly, I see bats and goblins, and friendly ogres in this picture. |
 |
| Cute folded towels |
 |
| I want to go look at the ocean again! We saw the Captain once and he pointed at our books wondering why we had them. We didn't get much reading in, but there is something heavenly about listening to the water and reading a book! |
 |
| In port, with the seagulls and the Queen Anne. MINE MINE |
 |
| Had a day to kill, so spent it in Hollywood :) |
 |
| Matt and Master Chief! |
 |
| It's smoked (I think it's just rolled up raw) salmon... I tried a bite, and spit it out |
 |
| At the beach on Catalina Island. Matt got in the frozen water, I played with sand. Don't ask me what is is. I don't know. A face... part angry Klingon, part something? |
 |
| "Glass Bottom Boat" |
 |
| This was the Shakespeare Library. I loved this room. My dream house now has it! |
 |
| A nice person on the ship loaned us her game!! I lost, naturally :) |
 |
| Our table. One couple from Flagstaff, one from Washington on their honeymoon and us |
 |
| The waiters sing! |
 |
| Stand up. There
was a family friendly show that we enjoyed. One black guy had kids come
up so he could teach them how to dance to hip hop. Michael Jackson was
playing! :) |
 |
| More folded towels! |
 |
| This guys has had plastic surgery up the wazoo to look just like Michael Jackson. He does! |
 |
| Chinese Theatre |
 |
| Made from a phone book! Ripley's Believe it or Not is an awesome place! |
Remember the Chilean miners? They all signed a flag and Ripley's bought it.
 |
| I'm sure it was an honor.... and then sat on a shelf. I was really impressed with the hollowness of Hollywood |
 |
| This is the original Phantom of the Opera! HI ERIK! |
 |
| HEY! It's ME AND IRON MAN! |
 |
| Waiting for someone? |
 |
| Cute! |
 |
| Home and back to homework! |
