The "These are a few of my Favorite Things" Story

It was an ordinary day. Home, sitting in front of the computer playing with the photos I have taken on our latest vacation. Took almost 2,000, but eliminated 2/3 of them before I got home. Nice feature of a digital camera. I found an old Kodak underwater camera in my suitcase and used it when we went snorkeling, but still haven't picked up the results. Cost more for that one roll of film than for the 2,000 pixs I took. I know, I had to buy the digital camera, but that doesn't count in my mind. I picked out 10 of my favorites that I will never use in a story and have included then in this story. Why do I like them? For different reasons. I'll give you an idea as I post each one. Hope you enjoy them.

Little girl cooling off in a commons pool in Curacao. Cute little girl.
Photo taken in the Pacific from the top deck of the ship looking down at a stateroom balcony below.
It was a rainy, windy day in the rain forest of Costa Rica. While on the bus I was able to capture a farmer chasing a stray animal across the terrain.
The main staircase in the center of the ship was transparent. Some type of stone, probably quartz, was used. Made for a few neat photos and also interesting to walk on.
Our room was about 30 degrees cooler than outside air temperature since we were near the equator. Whenever I left the room with my camera, I would have to wait about 10 minutes to use it so the condensation would clear. This was taken off our stateroom balcony as soon as I exited the room. Glowing results.
From the back of the ship, the waves continue on into infinity.
Hey Cisco. Even the sombreros are colorful in Mexico. Boots, belts, etc. all are decorative in Mexico.
Photo was taken at a dessert buffet in Costa Rica. Even desserts are colorful while on vacation.
This photo was taken when we returned one day from one of our side trips. Daily maintenance, even on the outside of the ship, is important.
This is a spot on the ship that most people did not find. I never saw anyone here during my journeys around the ship to find interesting items to photograph. Deck 11.
It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
