Our 2008 Cruise

Cruise on the Royal Caribbean Voyager of the Seas to Conzumel, Mexico; Roatan, Honduras; Progreso, Mexico

Arriving to the ship in Galveston port. Note the Texas flags and longhorns on the ship.
Word has it that a rich rancher has bought the horns for his ranch (bought on eBay)...

We checked out the dining room first since eating is the primary goal. We ate on the third floor...

Arriving at Conzumel, Mexico. Competitor's ship pulled up along our ship...

We rented a scooter and looked back at the ships as we rode around the island...

Our welcoming committee in Roatan, Honduras...

Interior lounge where I read every morning...

Terah's favorite pastime while at sea...

Main promedade, looking at five (of 15) levels of the ship...

Looking at stairway between levels 3, 4 and 5...

Our welcoming committee in Conzumel, Mexico...

The idol Terah is sitting on is actually the sacrificial platform where the victim's heart was placed...

The main temple at Chichenitza...

It took us 2.5 hours by bus to go from Progreso, Mexico to the Chichenitza ruins...

The marketplace temple, the actual markets ran to the right for 100 yards...

The temple at the court where the games were played...

One of the many platform temples within the city of Chichenitza...

Top of the main temple...

Many intricate carvings on the side of all temples...

The interior of the court where the games were held...

The temple of the games...

The hoop used to score, using a leather and rubber ball
(same size as the hole), but could not use hands nor feet, only elboes, knees,
lap, shoulder, head. By the way, the captain of the winning team is the one who
is sacrificed (go figure)...

More platform temple carvings (all skulls)...

More views of the main temple...

Another view of the market temple with Terah...

Another view of the main temple with me(yawn)...

Terah trying to climb the steep steps of the temple...

and that ends Chichenitza (or as our guide says we pronounce it... "Chicken Pizza"

Well, as of February 2008, I retired and started traveling... more to come!
