We're Back....

Obviously we are back from our cruise. It was a great time. Much better than our last cruise (me and Chris that is). To the right are some pictures. I will be posting the parasail pics later. They are on a memory stick and we need to have them loaded over to a format we can use. Parasailing was EXCELLENT. We went to the fort in San Juan. It was interesting. Mel pointed out that it is nearly identical to the fort in St. Augustine. Both were built during the same period by the Spanish.

St. Maarten was - well, okay. We only went to the Dutch side and it was a little unkept...
St. Thomas was quite beautiful. We had lunch at the Green Turtle, a Marina restaurant, walked around and shopped some. B was slightly under the weather and it was ever so hot, we returned to the ship to enjoy the pools, hot tubs, free foods, endless flow of vanilla ice cream cones (my favorite) and of course, the lounge chairs.

As you see by the pics, Chris and Mel enjoyed the rock wall on the ship. Mel rang the bell! Chris - well I'll let him tell ya... There is also a good pic of Mel and Chris (I think) having a Heineken at a beach bar in St. Maarten.

Well gotta run. Enjoy the pics...
