only a bit delayed, a few pics from spring break

Mr. Coconut in Puerto Rico. We stopped by the side of the road to get some fresh coconut juice and Jason came back with too many to hold, so we had a good laugh while trying to survive the PR driving, juggle the coconuts, and find a bathroom before we exploded from the sudden liquid intake.
Our cruise ship was the Celebrity Summit. We discovered once and for all that we are not "cruisers." No offense to those that are. We left from San Juan, Puerto Rico and went to St. Croix (a bust), St. Kitts (not too bad), Dominica (when can we go back?); Grenada (spice isle), and Tobago (glad to visit again but would only go back for the diving).
Sucking on some fresh sugar cane in St. Kitts. Probably one of my favorite days and favorite tours. There was a lot of history there and we had a good tour guide. Sugar cane has been their primary industry for many years but was heavily subsidized and the gov't recently stopped supporting it. They weren't making any money off of it anyway. The fields are now being transformed to be able to plant crops for their own people which the local farmers will manage.
Walking up to a small waterfall in Grenada. It was very pretty here but Grenada was annoying because they figured out that tourists will pay a dollar to take a picture of just about anything... ladies with fruit on their head, someone jumping from the waterfall while shouting your name, or a pet monkey wearing a preemie diaper.
Jason with his favorite tour guide in Grenada. I can't remember his name but I want to say he looks like a Lenny.
