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

Image
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 missio...

Navy Buddies

Image
Today is a good day to drive! We drove across Amarillo, TX to visit with Will's Navy buddy, Ron.  We found him in the same park we had met him in about ten years ago. These two men met fifty years ago aboard The USS Platte.  ( Platte  made almost yearly deployments to the western  Pacific Ocean  from 1960 to 1968, including extensive operations in  Vietnamese  waters and refueling the  USS  Enterprise  (CVN-65)  task group off Korea during the  Pueblo incident . Platte served with the Pacific Fleet into 1970. She was sold for scrapping on 14 May 1971.)   Ron suggested La Fiesta Grande for an early dinner, a great Mexican place.  It was fun listening to the stories all starting with, "Do you remember...." We dropped Ron back off at home and met Don, a neighbor. See you again somewhere sometime, Ron. Okay, so check out these drinks that were delivered to the next table!

Our Own Palm Tree

Image
December 15, 2007 We woke parked at the Walmart; we have a nice spot we like way off to one side where we face a little lawn and have our own palm tree. Not many people park in this area because it is farther to walk into the store; at night a few other overnighters park in the lot, but they park up with the trucks so we pretty much have this area to ourselves. From there we drove to Victor Park, a community park with tennis courts, picnic area and fields for sports. The restrooms were locked, but no biggie as we have our own facilities. Will started up the generator and worked on a letter to the Chevy Guy in New Brunswick he has been formulating in his mind ever since we left Canada. The Roadtrek just stopped one day and we had to have it towed and lucky for us it was to a Chevy repair garage. We had our fuel tank fixed and they cut the fill tube. Roadtrek had designed a specialty one they didn’t have so they just jury rigged one. Fixed they said; we paid the bill of over a thousand d...
