I'm back! The folks let me tag along on one of their adventures and this time, we went to Roatan and Belize and Costa Maya and Cozumel. It was fantastically wonderful. The beaches in Roatan were beautiful. The water was the most amazing color. We went to little zoo and I met the first monkey that I wasn't terrified of. It was a spider monkey, elderly and very gentle. There was also a tiny capuchin that didn't scream or steal my glasses or attack my hair at all. We got to pet the world's tamest coatamondi. As cute as they are, they have inch long fangs.

Belize was my favorite. We went to Altun Ha to see the Mayan ruins and it was AMAZING. We got a local man to drive us around and he was wonderful. He took us to eat at a place called Tropicolada where I had fried fish and rice and beans. So good. Amazingly good.

Costa Maya was more laid back. We spent most of the day at the Krazy Lobster Beach. I got my first sunburn in probably 20 years. We saw frigate birds.

Cozumel was the hottest place yet. We went snorkeling and saw a sea lion show. There was also a tequila tasting. I have never liked tequila, but it turns out I just never had any of the good stuff. Because wow. We ate at a place called Pancho's Backyard, which was incredible.

The boat ride was awesome too. The food was great every single night and we got to see Gary Lovini perform. If you ever get a change to take a cruise, even a small one, I totally recommend it.

Ok, see, next time you go to Murrell's Inlet, SC, go eat at Bliss. It. Is. AMAZING.

We accidently passed the restaurant we were heading to and we were all hungry and cranky so the driver decided we were just going to eat at the very next place we came to. (Yes, it was a family outing. How did you know?) It was a small little restaurant next to a sports lodge, so we were thinking wings and burgers. Hah! Not even close. The food was so good that all we could talk about while we were eating it was coming back for dinner for more. Oh. OHoh. So good.

Seriously, we all got different things and shared bites and everything was awesome. I had steak with four cheese potatoes au gratin that was just heavenly, but the buffalo meatloaf, oyster po-boys, and Low Country chicken roulade were amazing too. I can't vouch for the sea bass because it was gone before I got a bite, but that says it all right there.

So! If you're anywhere near Myrtle Beach, take the trip down to Murrell's Inlet and stop at Bliss. The blackberry-banana-bread pudding alone is worth it. We were giddy after eating that. Our only disappointment was that we won't be there Sunday for the Blueberry and White Chocolate French Toast casserole. Because OMG.
