Cruise Day Five

Oh what a beautiful morning coming in to Costa Maya.  It is known for the jungles, beaches and lagoons as well as Mayan ruins.  There is a modern port with activities and shops.








We watched other ships coming in too.





The water has so many shades of blue!

Can you find the ship wreck?

We were not the only ship at port.
Kathy spent some time exploring the ship and taking pictures....

With all the free food and drinks it is hard to imagine that people would stop here and pay for food or drinks, but they did. 

Beautiful displays and

art around the ship.

Nice sitting areas

with views out over the pool deck.

This is a shower in the SPA area.

The rugs on some of the walls are decorated.


This is in the Japanese Restaurant that you pay for each meal you get.


The Viking Crown is for adult dancing and drinks.

This is the view from the Viking Crown.

Lots of seats near windows so you can see out over the ocean.

Liked this painting.
Time to go exploring....
Tropical means palm trees.  We headed over to Costa Maya to explore a bit near the dock.

We are all tied up.









We found flamingos, dolphins and myna birds.
There were people enjoy a few minutes with the dolphins.



There was swimming.

Happy birds...

Well, maybe not.



The dolphins were happy.

Frigates flying.

You could pay and walk up above the dolphins.






We watched the natives climb and swing down and around and around the pole.




It was like walking around Disney World.







Our ship is out there.

Beers were expensive.















The making of chocolate!




Each bar was $12!



Everyone was aboard by 4:30  
We relaxed a bit 
and we headed over for dinner.






So good!
What a beautiful sunset.





Time for the evening show, Comedy Ventriloquist, Michael Harrison.
Then back to our stateroom for a quiet evening others were off to ballroom dancing, Karaoke or Poker.

Houston Fest Galax, VA

We arrived in Galax, VA and stopped at our friend, Harold's. He was just putting the finishing touches on a cake he made for his nephew.  Harold is great in the kitchen! Brenda arrived!  We had a nice meet and greet. We went to the school across the street with Brenda and Harold and met Linda who likes hugs. Each day the three of them and others from the community volunteer to prepare backpacks of food items for children who otherwise would good the weekend hungry. They have fund raisers to get money and purchase food items that children can manage for breakfast and lunch.  They also get donations.  There is a man in Florida that heard about their need for food so ships items from Amazon.com for them to distribute. They get everything organized then run an assembly line to package items. The bags are then sent to the classrooms where the teachers put them in the children's backpacks so that no one is called to any attention. Time to head to Houston Fest whose mission is to hon

Pandemic

 This has been a strange year. We arrived in Florida in March and have stayed home since. That is about 6 months now. The Covid-19 virus has set the world to be a different place with stay at home orders, restaurants and bars closed, shelves in the grocery stores empty of toilet paper and antiseptic good, virtual school and doctor visits, hospitals that don’t let visitors enter and no only emergency care, wearing a mask when you are in public and people staying six feet apart. Who knows what the new world will be like after this.

Hospital Stay to Camping Out

Update: morning started early with vitals checked every four hours, bloodwork ( interesting side note: you are given an IV port in the emergency room, but that port is not used to retrieve blood for any of the various tests once you are admitted. Instead someone comes and draws blood through a new prick hole each time. ).    I started taking a new pill, Imdur, that helps keep the arteries open. It gave me a terrible headache so I won’t be taking that again!    Went for a CT angio of the chest. Then I waited       It is now 3:00 and they are going to discharge me!!    Yippie. That was about three weeks ago. Since then life has made a 360. We bought a house!! A touchspot really because we still plan to travel. We bought a new to us PleasureWay!! We are scrubbing and painting the house. It is the best way to get to know your new space. And it makes it your own. I take it slow and sit more than I remember doing in days gone by, but we are just ma
