The BUTTERFLY FARM....I forgot how hard it is to get decent pictures of BUTTERFLIES....they don't land often and when they do it's just for a second!




this blue butterfly was amazing(picture does not do it justice, not even close).....but wouldn't land anywhere! The butterfly guy caught one for me, and held it so I could get a picture(he said they rarely land during the day)!







THE CRUISE! (where do I start).....still working on this post!

IT WAS FABULOUS....as I think back, it's hard to decide what was the best(on board or ashore)? BOTH were great.....take a look! It seems I have WAY more ashore pictures(many taken from on board, from our balcony(thanks Stampin' Up!)).......

our home for the week!


this was my favorite beach(St. Lucia I believe).....BEAUTIFUL! Bonus for me......there were trees along the beach......I could be in the shade...LOL!


we snorkeled here!

The beach where Daniel got this(back full of blisters.....yes, he should know better).....he was not in the shade as much as I was(we were there for MAYBE 2 hours)

he did go and visit the ships medical office(two days after the burn)......by that time it was blistering so there wasn't much they could do!

had lunch in the shade............breathtaking view!





dessert......on board!


taken from our balcony!


us with one of the great drivers we had.....it was his idea to take the picture.....very nice guy!



these flowers were EVERYWHERE....beautiful!


taken on board!


in the casino....on board!


taken from our balcony!



Johnny Rockets(on board)






this lady was wringing wet, very hot......she was dancing out in the middle of a walkway.........on concrete!



this is were we ate our dinner for the past week.....imagine!


Did you know the Captain's of the ships were not allowed to bring the ships in, dock in foreign countries? Each country supplies their own Captain, and they bring the ships into the docks! The countries Captains are brought out on a small vessel......then they take over......interesting!
so here is the Captain climbing on the ship......see the gap between the two boats? He has no life jacket on, and is on a rope ladder.......what the hey!

CRUISING TIDBITS!
Our rooms were cleaned(beds made)twice a day!
We went to a nude beach(did not participate.....didn't leave the cab, but got my zoom lens out....won't post pictures)!

FUNNY(taken from Danica's blog)!
