CHRISTMAS MORNING 2024, on the Ship, GUAYAQUIL, ECUADOR

I was the photographer for all the Residents participating in REINDEER GAMES on Christmas Morning. I couldn't participate because we were leaving to go on our excursion. The games was the brain child of Eddie, arms spread wide here - one of my favorite neighbors!  The rules required you to show up to breakfast in your Christmas PJ's and have your toes painted red and green!  Below, I got to say a quick Merry Christmas &  farewell (for 3 days) to my favorite Family the Little -Olson's - Doug, Lucia, Alionia & Whitney!

CARTAGENA, COLUMBIA - EASTER SUNDAY 4/20/25

To cap off our FUN week with the Miller's, Bosco suggested we go to one of his favorite restaurants in Aruba, Faro Blanco (or the white lighthouse) at the north end of island. The meal was delicious, lots of homemade pasta and it seemed every table was celebrating somebody's birthday. Not to be left out, when I stepped out to use the restroom, the Miller's and Bosco plotted to celebrate my upcoming Birthday. So upon my return to the table, I was surprised by a flaming torch in a piece of cake with singing wait staff! A nice surprise!
