Mexico! From Dad's Camera


Mexico was GREAT! However, I rarely had a chance to capture it from the lens of my own beautiful camera. The humidity down there caused my d40 to fog up for an hour anytime I brought it outside. So, the following pictures are from Dad's camera. Tomorrow I'll post what few I did take with my own.

Till then, enjoy!

Oh, and yes, I did create that introductory picture. : )

Eating at the buffet, which was really nothing amazing. It was good... but not as good as the food on a cruise.

I was so happy to see my guardian angel.

This one needs a little explaining. Our door stopped working the second night we were there, so I took a picture with Dad and the door. I thought he'd look more angry or sad or something. Instead, he looks like a foreign man who's never seen an electronic hotel door handle.

Mini golf was fun. I had to reach into a little mucky pond to rescue one of the balls, but I figure when you're playing on a course in the jungles of the Yucatan, you have to be prepared to make such sacrifices.

These claws held a wonderful bounty of luscious crab meat. Oh man, they were delicious.

I don't think I was originally meant to be in this picture, but I leaned anyway.

Huh. The Iguana. Yeah, "Huh" is the Mayan word for Iguana, so every time we saw one of these healthy beasts we'd all say, in a trance-like unison, "Huh. The iguana." We stopped after people started staring.

I LOVE this picture. : )

I don't look happy here, but I was really smiling. I promise! I was so content! I think I'm half smiling and half squinting into the sun. Or something. Oh yeah. That lady in the corner? I was paying her to pick up seashells for me.

Not really.

It could have been a really nice picture, had the people shooting been a little more photo-savvy.

I love Ty's thumbs-up here. And I guess I'm bustin a move.

So tomorrow I promise more pictures - the ones from my camera. Adios!

  3. I do like the move you're bustin' in the last pic. And those iguanas are awesome and everywhere (at least in the part of Mexico that I have been to). It looks like the pre-tanning worked out for you. No burns, right? Your comments are hilarious.
