I colorized a Mesoamerican carving the other day...

I really like this.

I have been to Cozumel more times than I ever intended (4?). It happens because we make plans to go on a cruise, and the new people usually want to see the Western Carribean. Cozumel, Jamaica, The Caymans, etc. Then something happens and people change their mind about going or can't make the payments or get sick and they drop out. The awesome part about cruising is that it is basically traveling with your hotel room so that you can visit multiple destinations without packing and unpacking.

But the end result is that we keep going to been there, done that destinations. The excursion tour that includes the stingless bees( they look like flying ants, but they make honey and they bite like ants) has Mayan artists making jewelry and things like obsidian knives. The trouble is that as awesome as a carving of the rainbow god might appear, as a Christian I don't feel right about wearing a pagan deity around my neck, and I don't want to disrespect the culture of the artists who take it seriously. So I just admire the art while I'm there buying honey and propolis products. something about the unique style appeals to me.

Hey Rusty,
Long time no see. Glad to hear you're still enjoying life.
Regarding Mayan trinkets, it must be your inner pagan speaking.
