Christmas : By Josh Gaynor…

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

While at work today, I got a text message from my friend Josh saying that he had left a present for me on my porch.  It. Was. Awesome:

I always love Josh’s birds and other assorted animals that he draws, and I’ve been waiting for this limited edition framed print of Bela!

Thanks!


**I do love Field Notes’ motto: “I’m not writing it down to remember it later, I’m writing it down to remember it now” – something that I’m making a resolution to do next year, with a lot of other things (in an upcoming post)**



Cruzin’ (Cozumel!)

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Sorry!  Don’t think that I didn’t remember to post the last port of call of the cruise!  Cozumel, Mexico – a land of beautiful blue water (it was really that blue!)

Cozumel-1

Cozumel-2

Cozumel-3

Stephanie loved her fan that she bought, both for the way that she looked when fanning herself, and for the cooling effect.  It was hot, not Cayman Islands hot, but still pretty hot!

Cozumel-4

After the little shopping that we did, we took in lunch at Pancho’s Backyard, a nice little place right close to the port.  If you’re ever in Cozumel, I recommend it.  We even got a free appetizer coupon from our cruise shopping director (that’s that tiny dish in the upper right corner…small, but can’t complain too much, it was free after all!)

Cozumel-5

Collecting some sand – taking in the view…

Cozumel-6

Oh Yeah, can’t forget the towel animal that we got that night!

Cozumel-7

We enjoyed this experience of traveling on a ship, can’t wait until we are able to do it again!
