Casa De Bells

Feelin Irie Man !

Well here is my promised photos of our wonderful Caribbean Adventure. I can't believe we actually went. It is still so surreal. I know we are finished with it because my tan is about faded away. Soooo sad!!!For those who have not gone on a cruise I highly recommend it. We took a Western Caribbean cruise which brought us to Cozumel, Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Grand Turk. We really liked Cozumel not for it's beaches or sights but for the scuba diving we did. I was really scared to do it at first and it took me a while to get used to it. But I finally got into the groove of breathing underwater and it was just amazing. All the beautiful fish we saw was well worth the panic. Jamaica was my favorite island. I loved visiting Brimmer Hall Plantation and finding out all the history of the property and seeing how the coconut, pineapple, sugar cane and bananas are grown and harvested. I even bought me a bag made out of banana tree. They make a sort of cloth material out of the inner part of the banana tree. Pretty nifty. We also explored a very cool and very crowded Dunns River Falls where tourists would link together in a human chain and climb up a miles worth of water falls. The people of Jamaica were very nice but very expectant of money. They were always after us to buy stuff and of course give tips. We also got to see a Mormon Church. The church is really everywhere. Our cruise was an italian cruise liner so it was very diverse in the cultures. We met a lot of people from Italy, South America and French Canada. I got to use my ill stricken french on the Canadians we met and with them knowing a little English we were able to communicate. We met a special lady name Jeanine who was from St Gerome and was going on a cruise all by herself to celebrate the death and life of her husband. Kind of funny but it was in honor of them always going on cruises and traveling together. She was supposedly a famous singer in Quebec and did acting I believe. Well anyway the people were so nice and I felt even bored by the time we were finished because it was just so relaxing. The cruise offered so much and let's not forget so much food. We ate like 24 hours a day. We got to see shows, have dancing lessons and listen to lots of fun music with the cruises Island band. I'm looking forward to the next cruise we get to go on. Although that could be awhile with all the debt we still have to pay off. Oh well, I can dream can't I.

For those of you who love to travel and cruise or want to desperately, you must tell me what you have thought about the cruises or islands you have been on, and what is or would be your favorite destination.

Dunns River Falls

Here's a little clip to give you the feel of what it's like to climb up the Falls

Our very own Reggae Band

What a beautiful Cruise Ship and Who's that snorkeling in the water?

Our French Friends from dinner. For some reason we were always put with people who spoke French in the dinning room because sometimes we went to the 2nd dinner hour. Was it Destiny or just a lot of French people on board. We'll never know.

At home at the plantation. The workers were always working hard and very serious!

Look! The origin of my banana bag. I bet I could totally weave this thing into a bag!

Oh la la, Paul has found a new amour. Could she be french? Oui, and what an excellent dancer she is. This could be fate! She was always singing us love songs too. Too bad we couldn't take her home with us!

And here is my amour! Dining in Style!
Check out these crazy cruisers. We for sure would never be apart of this kind of brew hah hah! Is that how you spell that!
