Cruise Day 2

Hey... it's day two and I am waking up to this.... we are not wandering aimlessly in the sea!! I see land! YAHOO!




 we are pulling into Nassau Bahamas... but it will be a little while before we can get off soooooo....
 we will eat first! a nice breakfast buffet with a view of Nassau.
 Awww... Mike has to eat steak for breakfast!
 yum!
Ok... it's time to get ready to explore Nassau!


Nassau was.... kinda... interesting!!! I don't know exactly what I was expecting... but this was not it! ha! It looks a lot better in the pictures than in real life! ha!
There's these "taxis" everywhere... They look and drive like it might be their last trip! AND... the taxi drivers shove every space in their "vehicle" with people before they take off... AND I don't think there are any traffic laws... everyone just honks when they are turning or changing lanes etc.... Luckily we didn't drive too far!
We are headed to Atlantis... the big tall pink buildings ... it's a resort that you have probably seen advertised on TV... It was gorgeous... but I guess they have tightened their restrictions and prettymuch have closed everything to tourists and it's all for guests only... but it was still pretty.
But tourists could still go in the casino and shops... There were some cool artsy things!

Outside...





 This is the little deli where we ate lunch.... They had the best pickles! I took a picture of this guy cuz he reminded me of a grownup Bob's Big Boy.... for those of you old emough to remember the Bob's Big Boy statues!
 Back to downtown Nassau to look around... I don't know their history, but they must be be under English rule?!?!?

 This is how the traffic is!!! Scarey!!
 We didn't do much shopping... due to the recent job loss we were on a very strict budget.... but even if our budget was huge we wouldn't have bought anything... I guess there is no tarrif there so all the stores were selling expensive perfume, alcohol, expensive jewelry and tobacco... none for me thanks!
ummmmm.... but we did find ICE CREAM!!!!
 A street named after Mike... (his real first name is George!)
 For Corrine!
 Back safe and sound and ready to go back to the ship!
Our ship is HUGE... time to rest and get ready for the evenings activities!

About Me

My photo
Hi there everyone! I've noticed that a lot of people have a little life story on their blogs. So, always wanting to keep up with the latest BLOG trends, I've decided to put on a little blurb about my life for anyone that's interested. BUT, so no one is bored or has heard it all, I've put MY LIFE in ORIGINAL story form... Once upon a time there was a brown eyed girl, born of goodly parents, who set out on a journey. She traveled for a very VERY long time, through desert, mountains and forests and along the way she brought with her 6 wonderful treasures. But, alas, there were dark times, battles and dragons along the way, but she kept on going, with her treasures giving her strength and direction. Then in the desert, she met a blue eyed handsome prince, who had also been on a long long journey, and he had 2 treasures. So as you might have already guessed the ending.... the brown eyed girl and the blue eyed prince along with their treasures and a bunch more treasures, lived very happily ever after! Life is GOOD! It's party time now!
