Bryan's Final Cuba Trip Post brought to you once again by Batch.com!!

                     OK - last but not least POST about Bryan's trip to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba!!


Trip to Cuzco Beach!!  The C.O. of the Base gave us the key
so that we could get into this private beach - we had an amazing time!!
Lee and I shelled...Bryan and Ellen snorkeled alot.  I guess I snorkeled some, too
and then Lee and Bryan did!  Beautiful huge beach!  We are so thankful
to know the C.O. like we do and get a key...he also "evicted" us from
our house for parking the "scooter" on the sidewalk!!!  (INSIDE JOKE!)

Found this on the beach...wonder if it washed in from Japan or China?

a more artsy view of my findings!!

Bryan finishing up his first snorkel


Lee and Bryan getting ready to head out.  Bryan telling
him where they are going to go, I guess!!



My artsy view of the cactus - I LOVE BRYAN'S camera!!
Cactus, beach, ocean and mountains - all in one spot -
pretty cool!!

Bryan's name made out of coral!!  ;)
You knew you'd see this again, right Bryan?

Ellen's name made out of coral!!  ;)

This was like Christmas in July...Bryan, Ellen, TJ and Ryan
went on a night dive.  I was awakened (awoken?) at 1:00 a.m. by Ellen to
come out into the kitchen!  They proceeded to tell me all about their dive
and everything they saw....octopus, 2 tulips etc etc....then Bryan
uncovered this gorgeous KING HELMET shell!!  They are next
to impossible to find and this was half the reason Bryan wanted to learn
how to dive!!  He was so proud and happy!! We stayed up a long time talking
about everything!!

8 inches I believe Bryan said

Tulips found by TJ....


So proud!!

Time to dive Kittery Beach!!

I was the paparazzi, but i did snorkel too!!
Lee had just left for FL that a.m., so he wasnt' there.


Bryan, Ryan, Ellen, TJ



"show me your tanks"    LOL

There they go, can you see the little specks?



These hermit crabs were seriously fighting - and then they all
swapped shells - it was hilarious!!

Iggy in between the grasse and a good look at Kittery

This is the sign the CUBANS see if they are
seeking asylum!!  I think it says
STOP - don't go any farther!!

YAY - they are thru - here they come!!


Ellen and TJ the night that Ryan cooked us fried chicken,
potatoes and salad - YUMMMM!!! Fun night!!

Bryan swishing his helmet - trying to
get the animal out!!  He was successful the next
morning! and got it home clean as ever!!

BRYAN - thanks so much for coming to see us - we LOVED it
and will never forget it!!
