Carribean: Pics

Guess I'm no longer quite the young whippersnapper I once was. It's been a few days since we've returned and I've been too tired to post any trip pictures or produce any of my usual snarky trip commentary. I promise, it's forthcoming though (trust me, Auntie Jo lives for these types of things).

In the meantime, here are a few of my favorite pics from the Caribbean part of our trip.

At the Costa Maya Mayan ruins in Mexico...for whatever reason- just like the Pyramids of Giza, tourists are allowed to trample up the first so many steps of the pyramids. I suppose I could have exercised a little class and restraint by declining to step up on them myself, but that would've been, well...very uncharacteristic, don't you think?

Swimming with stingrays off the coast of Grand Cayman island...I was initially very scared and kept letting go of them (they're heavy, slippery and strangely enough...not thrilled about being held by petrified Asians screaming at their husbands to hurry up and take the damn picture). So while this photo may show a very happy, exhilarated Josie, what you cannot see is that she is rapidly emptying her bladder into the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean.

We met a man in Jamaica that was like, TEN FEET TALL!!! Other tourists kept whispering that he was wearing stilts, but come on! I know that's just crazy talk.

Noooo, I am not stoned. But I am being obnoxious. After hearing one too many Bob Marley songs, I decided to just roll with it and bust out my wicked rastafarian skanking skills. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure Bob would be proud.
