Cozumel and More

-
On Saturday Marcos and I decided to go to Cozumel.  The festivities of Carnival were starting and we wanted to check it out.  Once we got over there, we didn't find much going on...so we decided to rent a scooter and tour the island.  This scared the crap out of me.  Not that I don't trust Marcos, its just that I was wearing a skirt, and the helmet was like a bike helmet, and well, it's SCARY!  So I got on the back of the scooter and held onto Marcos for dear life!!  We took off across the middle of the island to explore some old ruins called San Gervacio.  Check check check it out ya'll (sorry, i'm rockin' out to Beastie Boys right now!)





After our historic ruin adventure we hopped back on the scooter and took off to the other side of Cozumel. The road follows the coast line so it was one grand view all the way back to the city center.  Luckily there was a smaller road off to the side of the main highway, which made me feel so much more safe.  On the way, we stopped at Coconuts Bar and Grill.  The owner of the bar is the brother of Carlos Rojas, who is a police officer at the Ketchikan, AK Police Dept.  He was very excited that we stopped in to say hello.

This what the menu's looked like.... a wood sign.

We stopped along the way by the side of the road to check out these really cool rocks.  It was big huge rocks with pours in them, some so big they were caves.






There was to be a parade in Cozumel Saturday night but we had to catch the ferry back and missed it.  Tuesday (tomorrow), Marcos and I are going back to Cozumel to dress up for Carnival and watch the parade.  Valerie also gets into town tomorrow too!! YEAH!!  

Stay tuned to see our Carnival costumes.  We hand made them ourselves!!!

I had no idea it was the rainy season during the winter on the Eastern Mexican coast! Opposite of the West?!

Looks like fun on that scooter. I'm sure it must have been a little tricky with a skirt! I also didn't realize Cozumel was within reach. How fun!

The World On Canvas

Lately I have been wanting to do artsy projects, call myself artsy, and hope people believe I really am... artsy.   Pinteres t has been amazing, in that I can find fun and easy home projects, pin them to my  craft board , and then attack them when I have a free day.  Well today was 'do something creative with a map' day. I have always wanted a world map in my home, but I hate using thumb tacks, and who wants to have a poster continuously falling down because the sticky putty you are using is useless. (Ahem, Marcos, I'm talking to you.) And because I want a GIANT world map, buying a frame for it is out of the question, as they are too expensive. Luckily, I found this project by Creative Juices Decor on Deedra's pinterest board .  Canvases and Mod Podge?  I'm in. I bought a brand new, though antique looking, world map at Barnes and Nobles and went to work. Seven hours later, with a sore neck, glued fingers, a trip back to the book store for a replacement m...

The removal of a 7-9mm kidney stone.

-
About two years I got an x-ray at my Chiropractor's office to check out my back.  After reviewing the films, we found a little spot in my kidney area about the size of a pencil eraser.  I didn't do anything about it until this fall.  After doing an endoscopy for other reasons, my doctor told me I had a kidney stone about 7mm in size, like a small raisin.  Isn't it funny how doctors describe size by comparing them to fruit or nuts?!  So I went to visit a urologist who told me I needed to get the sucker out!! Today was the day.  I really didn't anticipate it being such a big deal, but um.... yeah, it was a big deal!! Here is how it went: No eating after midnight, no drinking past 10 am.  Dave picked me up at 11:30am, get to hospital, check in on first floor, to be directed to another check in on the 5th floor, to yet again go to another check in across the sky bridge.  Wait a moment, get checked in AGAIN in another office, wait some more.  F...

October... and now Spain

October was a crazy month.  If you thought for one second that September was busy with sales in Skagway for me, ha! October was three times that busy.  I jammed three months of work into one month (though I still have more to do), as well as, recruited 25 plus volunteers and helped raise more than $54,000 for  Get Hitched Give Hope .  I would love to do an entire blog just on GHGH, but I will leave it to the  blog website  to fill you in.  The entire month I didn't stop.  I had Sarah and Jared in town, then right after Terry and Drew in town.... a short trip to Ketchikan, and then Mom and Michelle in town in Seattle.  My birthday weekend was a blast.  Valerie came to visit and we enjoyed every minute of it.  Thank you Ketchikan weather for being so amazing! Here are a few pictures of my October. Hike with Matt (and Valerie) in Ketchikan Home town, view from 3rd avenue trail Beautiful Carol, Michelle and I at GHGH Soooooo ...
