Our story goes on...

(Our cruise photographers took the most wonderful photographs. This is just one of the formal ones... don't we look like millionaires???)

Today our story continues with the second half of the honeymoon and when I left you yesterday we were headed to Grand Cayman. Let me just remind you that this is my favorite island. There are few things that can compare with the natural beauty of the Caymans. The people are friendly, the water is gorgeous and the food - fabulous!

Did I mention the sea turtles? Well, allow me to do so now. I love sea turtles and while on Grand Cayman Island we went to the Turtle Farm. These people were actually crazy enough to let me play with a few too! Okay, so they let everyone play that wanted to but I can pretend that my love for these creatures was so evident that that's the true reason I was able to play with them :) Check out these pictures of our "sea friends". I named my little guy Oliver. He was so cute! I wish I had found the picture of me kissing Oliver but I ran of time this morning when I was gathering the pictures to post today.

Anyway, Grand Cayman was wonderful. We ate our first Caribbean Jerk Chicken which was incredibly hot and saw a lot of cool stuff. Next we were on to Cozumel, Mexico. This place was equally exciting and full of possibilities. We decided to do our own thing and shopped around the open air markets before heading to Chankanaab Park. Once at the park we relaxed beneath the shade of Palm tree for a bit until we decided to rent snorkel gear. Now don't get me wrong I love the water, but the idea of swimming with real sea creatures was a little frightening. Nevertheless I agreed to snorkel and will admit that once I learned how to not swallow water I enjoyed myself. Well almost - I enjoyed it up until the point that a Barracuda brushed up against me. At that point I screamed underwater thus losing my snorkel and swallowing more sea water than I imagined possible. My husband on the other hand was laughing hysterically and decided to chase after it to capture a picture. He was able to snap a picture but the quality was not great so I will spare you this time.

All in all it was a great cruise. We enjoyed every single minute of every day and can't wait to celebrate our 5th anniversary next year with a similar cruise (if we save the money!). The whole week brought us together as husband and wife and God truly blessed us. Of course the honeymoon did eventually end and we were "forced" to leave our wonderful boat. Back to land, the real world and deciding on where to go from here. If you come back tomorrow you can find out where we ended up.... hakuna matata!
