Wait... its... Costa Maya!!!

Thats right! I was in Costa Maya! Last week as you all know I went on a cruise! The first stop of the cruise was in Costa Maya so I figured I would share with you guys the pictures from the trip! These blog posts will mosly be about the land and what we did and less about how I got the pictures but i did shoot manual most of the time unless I handed the camera to someone else to shoot.

First of all can I say the water was so BEAUTIFUL!!! I was so used to the muddy brown water of the Gulf of Mexico that I forgot how pretty everywhere else was! I cant wait to go back and see the water again!

So the first day of the cruise was a whole day at sea but how can I complain when every time I would look out I would see this crystal clear blue water? Since this was my first cruise I honestly didn't know what to expect but it was so much better than anything I could have imagined. When we docked we were greeted with music and dancing it was so cultural and fun! Now the one down side was that there wasn't much of a sandy beach because mostly near the water was rocky not sandy but that didn't stop me from laying out!




I was joined by Pikachu and his little friend HPV (Yes I have giant microbes of STDs all thanks to my best friend lol!) So we laid out in beach chairs soaking up the sun, and don't worry we put sunscreen on!








The next thing I wanted to show you was this guy! He painted pictures with spray paint! Everything the painted was done using spray paint and random things like scrap paper! It was amazing to watch him work he was so fast and it just blew my mind! He was so talented and I am proud to say I have one of his amazing works to hang up in my room so does my mom and my brother!

And lastly one of my favorite things about Costa Maya I got to hold a baby lion! Obviously I didn't take this pic since I am in it but still I had to post it because how often do you get to hold a baby lion! Best part can you guess his name? Yup you guessed it Simba! He was so cute, I felt so bad because he was sleeping but all proceeds went to a good cause helping out the wildlife in Costa Maya.



This was only our first stop on the cruise! As I go through all of the pictures from the other ports I will make some random blog posts so you will probably get another one sometime this weekend from Belize! Also I will have pictures from my cousins wedding on the first day at sea as one of the blog posts as well so keep an eye out!
