Caribbean Cruise

Ron and Betty just returned from a five day Carnival cruise of the Caribbean. Here are photos of some of the highlights.


Sunrise at sea


The cruise left Tampa for Grand Cayman Island, then to Cozumel. On Grand Camyen we visited the Butterfly Farm and saw these butterflies.





Our other side trip while on Grand Cayman Island was to the Turtle Farm. These turtles are huge, almost 4 feet in diameter. On the last picture, our youngest grandson Ethan was holding one of the younger turtles.








While we were on Cozumel, and walking in the tourist trap area, we saw these dancers performing in Mexican costume. The next photo is of a T-shirt selling in a shop window, loved the message. Probably should have gotten it for Henry.

That's O'Bama - not Obama

He's the next in a proud tradition of Irish-American presidents that includes George Bush, John Kennedy, Theodore Roosevelt and George Washington.

O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama
From the old Blarney Stone to the green Hill of Tara
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama

You don't believe it, I hear you say
Barack's as Irish as was JFK
His granddaddys daddy came from Moneygall
A small Irish village, known to you all.

Hes as Irish as bacon and cabbage and stew
Hes Hawaiian, Kenyan, American too
If he succeeds, and he has a chance
Im sure our Barack will do Riverdance

From Kerry and Cork to old Donegal
Lets hear it for Barack, from old Moneygall
From the Lakes of Killarney to old Connemara
Theres no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama

Tooral - U Tooral U Tooral U Toor a lama
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama
