Spring Breaking, Phase Two

Well, after two friendly comments from my last post, I'm back to finish up the trip.  I'm a bit overwhelmed with pictures and stories, so I'm just going to take the photo/caption approach, somewhat haphazardly.  Enjoy!

We spent our first day just sailing to Mexico and relaxing.  The nighttime picture is not my best work, but I thought it was a pretty shot of the water and sky.  One day I'll figure out how to use my camera.

We arrived in Costa Maya, Mexico the next day and were immediately greeted by a friendly dolphin.  Seriously, the cutest animal ever.  It swam right up to us when we walked up, sort of like Pistol when he sees treats.






We spent the rest of our time there shopping around and hanging out.  Caught a beautiful sunset on our way back to the ship.

Lighthouse!  I don't think it has room for me though.

Day Three:  We woke up in Belize City.  I don't have very many pictures from Belize, and I'm not too sure why.  We actually went on a really fun snorkeling excursion while there.  We took a boat out to a barrier reef, jumped ship, and snorkeled in the middle of the ocean.  Typically I completely fail at snorkeling (I don't trust the breathing tube), but I figured it out this time.  I wish I had a waterproof camera so I could show you all the cool fish and reefs we saw.  Aside from the two minutes where I thought I had lost Kent to the sea, we had a great time.  Here are some random pics from our morning wandering around Belize City.  We didn't walk too long because we had NO idea where we were going and it got a bit scary at times, and we had to catch our snorkeling boat.

Day Four:  Roatan, Honduras.  Roatan was a beautiful port with an awesome beach close by.  We pretty much camped out on some beach chairs all day and relaxed.

Pulling up to Roatan.  Fortunately our boat did not look like Ol Rusty.

Docked in Roatan

Riding the chair lift that led from the port city to the beach.  It was high and it swung around a lot, so Kent liked to scare me by making sudden movements.  Scary, but a beautiful view.

Day Five, and Final Stop:  Cozumel, Mexico.  Cozumel was our favorite stop of all the ports, partly because we had the prettiest weather that day.  Other than the weather, we really enjoyed walking around the city and heading to the beach.  We took a cab to a beach club that was pretty much heaven.  Chairs with umbrellas on the beach, gorgeous day, fresh guacamole, pina coladas, and beer, pretty water, and great company :)  I think we took the most pictures on this day so bear with me.  I loved this day.

Walking around Cozumel.  This picture taken right after giant iguana ran right past us. 

At the club...a huh huh huh huh huh (That's for you Ashley)

Beautiful water and happy couple!

Swoon...

After leaving Cozumel, we were at sea for another full day before arriving back in New Orleans on Sunday.  We had the greatest week just seeing new places, hanging out, eating A LOT, relaxing, reading, talking, and not thinking about anything but enjoying our time together.  It was hard to come back to the real world, especially when my body still felt like it was on the boat for a few days, but we have great memories.  I'll leave you with some general fun on the boat.  Thanks for looking at our pictures!  

The most intense towel animal I've ever seen!
