We were privileged to briefly visit three countries: Cozumel, Mexico; Raotan, Honduras and Belize City, Belize (formerly British Honduras). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The internet connection on the high seas was choppy and intermittent  to say the least, but we&#8217;re now back home safely, and so please enjoy several pictures that I took of our adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At each stop, we explored the animal and plant life as well as learned a little bit about the local  culture and history. During days on the seas, we read, sat on our stateroom balcony and enjoyed the sunrises, sunsets, the moonlight on the waves, the glorious cloud formations and the azure blue green waves themselves. Like a living gigantic amovie screen before us, we can watch these scenes for hours as the ship glides silently through the waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I spent a lot of time reading the Bible, a Bible book and a book on trees. Trees and the Bible are my two passions, which is why I refer to myself in the business world as the Treevangelist. Sandi and I also took a lot of pictures. We both have our own cameras. I mostly shoot video and she mostly shoots still photos. We then put our photos and movies together and I share videos of our trips on my YouTube channel. Also, we each of our own binoculars handy, so we can get a close up  view of distant objects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we&#8217;re not doing these things on cruises, we enjoy the fine, onboard dining. I&#8217;m proud to say that I only gained two pounds and Sandi stayed even weight wise. When cruising, I usually gain five to eight pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing we don&#8217;t do when we go on cruises: we didn&#8217;t gamble at the ship&#8217;s casino, we didn&#8217;t go swimming any of the ship&#8217;s several pools and hot tubs (I don&#8217;t like swimming in dirty water\u2014it&#8217;s unkosher to me), we didn&#8217;t hang out in the bars or involve ourselves in any other playtime activities on the ship. Frankly, these type of things interest neither of us. We just hang out, enjoy our time together, relax and geek out as much as possible on YHVH&#8217;s creation and other things that pertain to the upward spiritual walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now for some photo highlights. Please enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/P1030373-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/P1030373-copy.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/P1030373-copy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/P1030373-copy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/P1030373-copy-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Curious iguanas in Honduras.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7899.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7899.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7899-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7899-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7899-400x300.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Macaws are common all over that part of Central America.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7905.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20868\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7905.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7905-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption>Their gorgeous plum manages makes up for the ungodly, almost blood-curdling squawking sound that they make.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7934.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20869\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7934.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7934-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7934-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_7934-400x300.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>We encountered this curious, smiling iguana in Cozumel, Mexico while eating lunch overlooking the beach.
