There are still beautiful things in this world. Here are photos of a few of them Sandi and I took on our recent 25th anniversary cruise to the Mexican Riviera. I never cease being overwhelmed in awe and joy and the splendors of YHVH Elohim’s creation.

Try to ignore my feet and focus on the real beauty beyond!
And the best of all…Sandi, my lovely bride and gift of heaven of 25 years!
After sailing into Puerto Vallarta, we took a boat to a small resort called Las Caletas. The photos below will explain better than any words this idyllic spot. I’ve never been to anyplace like this before. It’d be a great place to get shipwrecked to! All I would ask is that I have a camera, my Bible and maybe something to write on, so I can write psalms of praise to YHVH Elohim. On the cruise back to L.A., I wrote my latest psalm called the Psalm of the Sea on Shabbat, while sailing north off the coast of Baja California. Maybe I’ll share my poetic psalm with you?
This is where I snorkeled and photographed tropical fish. The undersea beauty is just as beautiful as that of the land. I am perpetually in awe of YHVH’s creation wherever I go and whatever I see!
This fish had blue iridescent spots that glowed.
Though not very colorful, this was the most bizarre fish of all that I saw.
Sandi snapped this photo of me back on the ship. Yes, I’m reading my daily Scripture reading on my iPad! You can actually see the Hoshana Rabbah printed reading schedule underneath the iPad in my lap.
Sandi took this photo at a sidewalk cafe in Mazatlan. She needed to use the ladies room, and the price to do so was to purchase something to eat. Here I am with the national drink of Mexico. You won’t believe the restrooms in Mexico! You have to search far and wide for a half-clean one that actually functions! I still have a sore spot and bump on my head from one a visited. In another, I had to put my plumbing skills to work by reaching into the toilet tank to manually work the flapper so it would flush. Oy vey!
