Pictures!

Well, everyone keeps asking us how our cruise went last month, so I thought instead of telling you, I'd show you!

Here's a shot Eric took of our ship--The Monarch of the Seas (if someone will name the movie/book I think of whenever I hear that, I'll give you a quarter or something). The ship was huge to me, but apparently there are bigger ones. It's like a small island!


Here's a couple of us from the stern area of the ship. We spent a good deal of time here; one afternoon we read books and Eric's right side got fried in the sun :( Down below this was the pool area, where people got drunk and did ridiculous things. We didn't swim a lot, as you can probably imagine.

Eric had me model where we usually had lunch--we always chose somewhere with a great view of the ocean.

Here's a shot of the infamous cruise buffet! All the food you could possibly want...all day long.

A series of photos in our room (Eric did this while I got ready for dinner; hence me in front of the mirror for every shot). It was nice and cozy, and I'd say we spent the most time here, taking naps, reading and watching movies. We needed a rest after a summer full of homework and work!

Welcome to Ensenada, Mexico!

This is at a blowhole near where we docked. We also tried our hand at shopping at a little market here; tourist trap, if you will. Eric said the markets in Russia are better :o)

Here we are modeling our "Lupita" stickers. This was our guide's name, and all the men in the market tried to use it to convince us to buy their penicillin and "genuine" silver and leather.

Our free photo taken by our friends we had dinner with every night--the cruise took pictures we could buy, but why buy something when you can have it for free?!

Hangin' out with our fun towel creations the housekeeper did for us.

All dressed up for the "formal" dinner. It was fun to see how decked-out some people got!


Hey! We're on a cruise!


And of course, you can't go on a cruise without a little shuffleboard :o)
