Test jesus under plastic

I just spent an hour digging a car out of 1.5 feet of snow, so it's a relief to come back upstairs and post photos from my sun-drenched vacation! A five day cruise sponsored by one of our GCM network churches—it was the first I'd ever been on. Days at sea were a blast, but from the first port (Progreso, Mexico ) I got to visit on of the seven new wonders of the world—the incredible Mayan ruins of ChiChen Itza.  My only regret: we only were able to spend two hours, meaning I still missed significant portions of the national park. Our second port at Cozumel, an island very near Cancun, was a day relaxing on the beach... I got a sweet tan.  I would definitely enjoy doing this again!

ChiChen Itza Mayan Ruins

I'm going on a cruise. Really. Like with a boat and the dancing singers at sunset and everything. Or something like that—I've never been on one of these before. It's with one of our campus churches from Missouri with students and staff, and they get a really cheap deal and advertise it as good for rest. I hope so! I'll be getting up at 5am tomorrow morning to start the journey towards the ocean.

I won't have internet, so I won't be posting here for a while. But let's hope I get a good picture or two for later.
