| Sunrise as we pull into Freeport ~ The red ship in the third photo appears to be floating above the horizon as shown in the fourth photo as well |

| More of the sunrise ~ The ship's location on the televised map. The red circle is Freeport. It's amazing what I had to endure to get some sunrise photos. Carolyn and I were having breakfast al fresco on our balcony as we were wont to do. As I enjoyed my Frosted Flakes, I realized the beautiful sunrise begged to have its photo taken. I carefully placed the cereal bowl on my chair, maneuvered over the makeshift table, and took a few photos. After carefully stretching my long legs one by one back over the lounge chair (the table), the next thing I knew upon sitting down, Kerplop!, I was in my cereal bowl. What a rude awakening that was. Fortunately, the hair dryer came in handy drying off my pants. Can you imagine the sound if I had landed in a bowl of Rice Krispies? Snap! Crackle! Pop! |

| Our first stop (after a 45 minute squished bus ride to the actual tour bus that was in Lucaya) was the Garden of the Groves (Wallace and Georgette Groves, the founders of Freeport/Lucaya). |

| The chapel built of native stone is a replica of Freeport's first church built by Wallace Groves. This one was built in 1973 in honor of the Groves. Destroyed by hurricanes in 2004, it has undergone a recent renovation. ~ Sherrea, our garden guide ~ The Labyrinth is a replica of the first Christian labyrinth in Chartres Cathedral, France. The Labyrinth walk is representative of Life's journeys and experiences. |

| Back on the ship, we're ready to enjoy one of the Vegas-style shows ~ Our favorite towel figure, the Monkey. Each night we were excited to see what towel figure would greet us when we returned to our stateroom. |
