67 degrees here in La Feria, TX at 5:25 pm Sunday. Was 53 degrees when we got off ship in Galveston and we ran through rain the first several miles of the almost 400 miles from Galveston. Just got everything unpacked and girls are washing clothes. Got off the ship and to our vehicle about 8:30 am after leaving our 6th deck room on the ship at 7:10 am, taking our own bags (skipping the waiting for checked luggage on the dock) with us. Went smooth and walked short distance to our parking shuttle. Was a very fun cruise, though now seems to have gone too quickly. I am still working the videos I took of most of the bluegrass entertainment and will have them uploaded. By googling "lycamiles youtube" you should be able to look at any you want. Lots of still pictures to go through (almost 700) and the 16 or so hours of video.
Received e-mail on Friday that our close friend Oliver Herzberg had passed away in Villisca, IA. He and his wife Mary Jo were the ones who got us interested in coming to the Rio Grande Valley 12 years ago. Due to his health issues they had not been coming south the last couple winters. We will miss him, but intend to stay in touch with Mary Jo, especially in the summers when we are in Iowa.

We had some wind, but generally ideal weather on our cruise trip as we went south from Galveston clear to Cozumel, Mexico; Mahogany Bay Isle just off Belize, and the isle of Roatan which is a 39 mile long island about 39 mile off mainland of Honduras.
