Today we arrived in Hondoras. I will upload some pictures later for all these posts after we return home. From deck 13 Hondoras looks very similar to Guatemala. The same trees covering most of the landscape as you see from the air approaching Guatemala City. For me this filled with me with remembrance of bad events in Guatemala and unfortunately I was unable to make myself get off the ship that day.

Which considering Corey took Luke swimming with the dolphins was for the best anyway. I was onboard with Sarah, Gabe and Lily. It amazing how much those kids love the water. At home we maybe use the pool for an hour each day over the summer. Usually we wind up skipping a week or two at a time depending on how busy things are. On the ship I we are lucky to get them to spend less than 5 hours in the pools. Which considering how few activities there are actually are on the ship is great. They have a kiddie pool with three little waterslides for the kids. It makes them very happy that they can go down them by themselves. Thats good for about 2 hours a stretch. However, because it is the kids pool there isn't anyone cleaning the area around it regularly. So it is not unusual to see dirty dishes or cups laying around.

While Corey at the dolphins I took the three of them to the big pool to go on the big waterslide. Only drawback is I have to take each one down with me. This resuled in about 20 trips up the ladders to take each one down multiple times. It is surprising how much exercise you get on the ship without realizing it. But I must say taking each one of them down has been one of the highlights so far.

I'll talk to ya soon.
