Trip Pictures

Well, I finally did it. I used my health card/insurance. I fell. And Emily caught it on camera!
[[Okay it isn't true at all. I just wanted to pretend. Hope no one was truly scared. All my readers still alive?! And I'm mixing things up on this post. Comments now come before the pics. Enjoy! More pics and details to come later.]]

Emily and I in front of a way cool water fountain. We had to walk on wooden planks right in the middle. You can sort of see people walking through behind us. I thought it was really neat.

I saw many cute children. This boy was so cute that I couldn't walk by without taking a picture. His mother was friendly and spoke some English.

His mama tried to get him to look at her and the camera. I guess I'm more exciting to look at :D


They built this castle-type place on purpose. Unlike England, where they are just there from years and years ago. It's a very pretty area.

Posing like the locals. Every time I gave Emily my camera for a picture, I ended up with 2+ pictures. She just clicks away. It's true of this instance. I have about 5 different poses in this spot :P

For my brother.
(I'm still trying to figure out the left hand. I think it's straight but then I look at the picture and it isn't.) People laughed to see me standing on some rocks doing a funny pose.

After our bike ride. I stuck my tongue out at Emily a few times, so she wanted to do it in this picture. [[ She was such a good sport! I rode hard, fast, and nearly non-stop. She kept up and passed me every now and again.
I was surprised to find so much energy in myself. I even went for a second ride before we left. Emily was tired and sore. She was dancing at night when we went window shopping because she was so sore. It made me laugh. I wasn't sore. That didn't make her laugh.]]


On the bus. We spent about 10 hours on here. Not so fabulous, but not terrible.

I'm by a turtle! I didn't post a pic, but there was a snake turtle (long neck) in some water. I was watching it and suddenly it snapped a fished into its mouth. Then it ate it! It was SO cool to watch. Emily didn't think so. Yeah, it was graphic. But it was fascinating too.

Here's a whole bunch of them. So cool! I wanted to touch them, but Emily said no. She's like a mom to me sometimes.

Trying to do a "sassy" pose in the trees. It didn't work all that well, but it's a decent pic.

I told her to put her head out more so she stuck it all the way through the hole! Not quite what I meant.

Look ma! I'm a baby butterfly.

Emily walking beside me. We were headed back to the bus (I think).

So cute! This little guy had an itch on his stomach. Or he was taking his spit bath.

Don't know the name of this animal . . . but it's cute! Like a mini deer/gazelle.

Emily in a 200-year old tree. I forced her to climb up!

On my way into the tree. I was feeling the sore muscles caused the day before on our bike ride.

My lunch group. I wish I had my camera out when I ate a bug they found. I told them I was going to do it and they didn't believe me. I laughed really hard at their faces. It was so small I didn't really taste it.

{Andy, Chuck, Jessie, Jennifer / Evelyn, Yvonne, Clio, Moon}

A toucan!!! They seriously looked fake. They look so similar to pictures and puppets I've seen. A small part of me still wonders if they were just really good machines :P

With Yvonne as we left the ecological park "Green World".

Colorful parrots! Again, they look a little fake. But I was there - I'm 99.99% sure they were the real thing.

My Happiness = bubbles! Here's a picture by my professional photographer Emily (joking). You can see the bubbles all around my head and I'm looking at them. It's just so fascinating! I bought some on both days of the trip. People laughed, but I didn't mind since I was happy.
