We Be Cruisin'

Part of my family (missed you bro and sis) and our best friends went on a cruise to the Southern Caribbean for one last hoorah before I head to South Africa. 

Here are my top 5:

1.  Meeting Zelda
She was our waitress at dinner each night and "just happened" to be from South Africa  :)
I was able to get her contact information and hope to see her on the other side of the Atlantic!

2.  Experiencing different cultures
We had many opportunities to meet people, from the cruise waitstaff to our taxi drivers on the islands. We were able to speak with them and learn about their lives and culture. I pray we showed Christ's love through our speech and actions.
Meet Mustin from St Lucia.

3. Snorkeling in Tortolla
We got to see many colorful fish and even a sea turtle. We had a guide named Taz who showed us the way into this cave. I was pretty scared which was proven by my scream of terror when out of no where D swam in the cave behind me. Taz thought it was pretty funny and said we were his favorite.

4.  Cosol Tours in St. Lucia
We got to see the Piton mountains (which means Twin Peaks in Creole), a waterfall, botanical gardens, volcano, banana plantation, as well as enjoy a boat ride to a secluded beach and a spread of local foods.

5.  And of course, spending time with loved ones! 
Thank you guys for coming and making this so special and memorable.

Good times! Wish I would have been there for the cave and the cliff though.

At least you got to jump off the bridge in Puerto Rico!
