Well now I have some pictures up that I can give you a link to and they connect to the following posts in the past:
In this post Stephanie talks about a zoo that is called Loro Parque which I now have extensive pictures on...this trip was given to Mercy Ships crew for a very good discount, we even had a chartered coach bus for transportation there and back, it was in Porto De La Cruz. Which you will also see the birds that flew around during a show that Stephanie was squawking about. There are many pictures of Mercy Ships crew at the park as well. People we see and work with everyday on the ship.
The picture album includes spending the day with our 'just returning with new baby' Brazilian friends (originally met on the Caribbean Mercy) Rodrigo, Tatyana, and Estevam (here is an earlier post that alludes to their return). We rode around with them while they purchased items for family living on board. Things like 1400 diapers to last for the year while trying to evaluate the growth of the baby in order to get the right size diapers for the right period of time.
We also stopped by a nice beach...here the sand is black from the volcanoes. Its natural to them, but kind of weird for us.

Tragedy in Santa Cruz Port
Instead of rewriting someone else's work or news, here is a brief post on another blog from the Peet's who are on board the ship also...their link is also on the right hand side of this blog.
This tragedy occurred not to far from the ship.

Land sick no more.
This morning I went up on the sea wall (in the designated area). I brought my ipod and my desire to spend some time with my Jesus. It was more than fantastic. I sat up on the wall with my capris hiked up and enjoyed the sun penetrating into my skin. All I could see was the sun and the waves, the sight was purely majestic. When we lived in Texas I hated that we were so far from the ocean, now each day I wake up to the ocean noises and beauty.

About Roast Beef...
From ship to ship and at the IOC we have some similiar cuts of meat and some that range a bit beyond what is normally seen. So, as you can imagine I have to learn how to work with the food after seeing its various cooking 'personalities' what it will and won't do for me, and what I may have to force upon it by method of rubs, brines, and marinades.
I am not quite happy with the beef used for Roast Beef yet, and as you bare with me I will be applying other 'tricks of the trade' so to speak to see what I can get this beef to do for me...its much like getting old circus animals to do new tricks for a new ringmaster.
Also, we are looking into getting some horseradish for a nice sauce, we do not have any horseradish at present.
That being said, a nice meat slicer would accomodate us quite nicely...
