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!

I got to do 14 dives and 5 snorkel trips over our two weeks at Eco Cove Resort. I feel much more confident and comfortable diving, practice does truly help! Eco has these t-shirts that list all their Resort excursions - we made a nice dent in all of them and it's hard to pick a favorite!

Friday nights at Eco Cove Resort are sunset excursion time. All the guest are taken over to tiny Yeben Rock Island. This time the tde ws coming in quickly and alot of the island was already covered by water but that didn't dampen our party! We had a cooler of beer this time too! We also have become feriendly with the 2 families that were there sharing with us.
