Our Destination Vow Renewal Ceremony
Photo by: Maria Jose Photography Miguel and I got married in 2012 in a beautiful ceremony in Playa del Carmen, Mexico with all our friends and family. On that day, we sealed a time capsule that we promised to open 10 years from then. Inside the capsule we wrote a letter to each other that we’ve been dying to read since the day we sealed it. When the ten year mark came, Covid still made us nervous…

The ETBU Men's Basketball team departed Texas for Roatan, Honduras Sunday morning as a part of ETBU's Tiger Athletic Mission Experience (TAME). This is the 20th trip as a part of the ETBU Athletic Department TAME initiative and second for Men's Basketball, after the Tigers traveled to Israel in 2018. ETBU is partnering with International Sports Federation (ISF) for the week and will offer basketball clinics, work with different local ministries, and play three games.
The first recap of the week is provided by graduate students Jayden Williams and Darry Moore.
“We woke up this morning in Houston to travel and begin our first day in Roatan, Honduras. When we landed, we met up with Mr. Nick and Mr. Jason who are guiding us along this trip. We loaded our luggage into the vans and headed to the local food court for lunch. They had many different options from burgers, pizza, fried chicken, and sub sandwiches. The price of the food is much less expensive than what we experience in Texas. Darry and I ate a burger and it was great. After we ate, we then traveled to a grocery store to get a few items for the week. The store had very similar items to the grocery stores in America, but Darry and I chose to get different flavors of things that we cannot get in America. Then we headed to the Roatan Refuge, where we are staying during the trip.
Once we reached the refuge, we met with Mr. Nick and Mr. Jason to discuss housing rules and everything we would experience during our stay. After getting settled into our rooms, we loaded up and headed to the beach and ran into a lot of the locals enjoying the evening. We played soccer with the locals and swam at the beach, which was a really cool experience. During our time out there, we were able to see the sunset over the water and that was one of the best sceneries to capture.
Our last thing for the evening was dinner and prayer time. Mr. Nick had prepared homemade tacos for dinner and those were delicious. After dinner, we met to discuss the plan for the next day and spend a few moments in prayer for each other and for the week. Overall, it was a very fun and eventful first (travel) day in Roatan and we are excited for what is to come this week.”

I Have Been Waiting For Dragon Clan by Kristie Clark #KristieClark
I am excited to be sharing Dragon Clan by Kristie Clark. I want to thank Kristie Clark, Delphi Imprint and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review a copy.
Don’t ya just love that cover?
Amazon / Goodreads
MY REVIEW
It is fantastic to be back in Roatan with Eva and the gang to find out what happens next in this creature feature. No slow start. Action from the getgo. Now, they are being moved from Roatan, Honduras to Hawaii, courtesy of DARPA and the US Navy. Kaili is the guardian spirit of the Dragon Clan. She is a Komodo Dragon like no other.Eva is worried about her dolphins. They have dealt with a mutant Tylosaurus, drug lords, mutant CobiX fish ad Julian Gulliver. It’s hard to tell which is the most dangerous. As if that isn’t enough, now we have to deal with tsunamis.Kristie Clark does insert ecological, climate change as it applies to the events in the story. She doesn’t get preachy, just includes the pertinent data, just like any other part of the story. I find, when an author does that, it adds that real element and makes the story richer.You may wonder how someone can write a series with dolphins as the stars. Ask Kristie Clark. She has managed to keep me eager for more and surprises me with how quickly I become involved. She blends fact and fiction seamlessly.I caught the hint, but was still surprised when she hurt her arm.I am soooo loving this series. Kristie Clark does her due diligence when it comes to research, sharing the rich history, myths and legends of Hawaii. I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Dragon Clan by Kristie Clark.

LONG POST ALERT. How do you announce a major life change? I've processed this for a week and haven't come up with any brilliant answer, so I'm just going to blurt it out there. In October of this year, My husband and I will be selling our home and much of our 'stuff' and moving to Boquete, Panama (in Central America). We're excited and not a little nervous about this major life change, yet we're considering it our 'next big adventure'. You know, the universe has a funny way of aligning people, events and information, and such an alignment occurred this year. Our decision wasn't made lightly, and was made after a LOT of research, number crunching and interviews of folks who live and have lived in Panama and Boquete. We've heard the good, the bad and the ugly, and we're confident that we're making the right decision for us. As many of you know, Larry and I have loved to cruise over the years, and we often said we'd like to retire to Cozumel, Roatan or Belize; but we didn't even know about the opportunities in Panama! SO - because life is short and you're never too old for an adventure, we made the decision to retire to our version of paradise. Boquete is nestled in the mountains of Panama at about 3,600 feet. Because it's near the equator, the sun rises and sets every day at 6:30 am and 6:30 pm, and the temperature is between 60 and 80º every. single. day. This town has about 30,000 residents, of which more than 1,000 are ex-pats from the US, Canada, South Africa and other nations. I'm particularly excited about the quilting guild in the nearby town of Volcan that is teaching the locals about quilting, and there is a local jazz band that plays twice a month on Sunday afternoons in the town square. Larry is looking forward to smoking farm-fresh meat and learning about smoking freshly-caught fish. Many thanks to @panamarelocationtours for all the info, support and advice! https://www.instagram.com/p/CMJVaNwnoqM/?igshid=117r8zmdzg4mm

It’s Starting to Get Real...
After returning from a couple of weeks in Roatan, we’ve continued with a few more days of “vacation”... including last night’s annual Neal Family Vineyards Cellar Depletion Party. It was, as always, a wonderful evening of great food, amazing wines (pulled from Mark Neal’s personal cellar) and good friends... all for a good cause. I hope we make it back to this wonderful event one of these years... and hopefully our friends from the Neal winemaking team will find their way down to join us in Roatan someday. In the meantime.. thanks to Mark, Gove and Kelly for years of good times and great wines! We’ll miss our regular trips up Howell Mountain to visit with you guys.
But I digress... the “it’s getting real“ moments of the last couple of days have come as Terri and I walk through the details of the draft home construction engineering plans we picked up from our Architects last week. If you’ve ever built you home from scratch (we haven’t), you‘ll understand the seemingly infinite number of details that we need to make decisions around.. from the big picture (floor plans, size of the pool, etc.) to the finest details (exact location of electrical outlets and which way the doors open in each room). So while we have a lot of work to do, the very process of going through the home design is indeed “making it real” that we‘re on the road toward our new home in Roatan.
The hope is that we get through all of the decisions that let us lock down the “structure design” over the next month so that we can get a builder working on the foundation and get the first couple of floors built before the rainy season starts in Oct/Nov. If we can get to that milestone, we might be sitting on our terrace by next Fall. That makes this retirement thing seem very real indeed!
And while I’m sure we’ll end up making some changes along the way that change the look of the house a bit... here’s the what the current plans look like: first, the back of the house from the road as you drive up the hill. The first floor is at the bottom of the property and the garage/entrance is on the 3rd floor.
and then the front of the house (as you’ll drive up to the house at the top of the property).
with everything in the house optimized for the view of the reef and ocean down below.
Getting real (exciting).... so we’d better get back to work reviewing plans so that we can get building and you can come visit us!

Sept 16, 2020 - Here is a suset picture I took tonight from my patio. If you are looking for something interesting and not underwater, then come visit my website and enjoy "The Elephant Parade"! This event took place a few years back, while I was still living in Southern California. The elephant sculptures are amazing and I wish I would have spent a lot more time photographing them. As it was I made three day trips to Dana Point California to visit this spectacular event. Please take a look, enjoy and let me know what you think. - https://www.robertherb.com/Elephant-Parade #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #underwater #subwaywatersports #subwaywatersportsroatan #diving #scubadiving #turquoisebayresort #turquoisebayresortroatan #comedivewithme #roatan #honduras #subway44 #scuba #comedivewithme #roatanunderwaterphotofest #ruwpf #subwaysouth #robertherbphotogrpahy #robsherb #sunset @bobh_h2o @robherbphoto (at Parrot Tree Plantation Beach Resort & Marina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFOHi6bBwOY/?igshid=atsbb9diozbr

Are there mermaids in Roatan? Tourists tell of paranormal experience on the island
A group of tourists shared a disturbing experience during their stay in Roatán, Bay Islands, in the Honduran Caribbean, where they claim to have been visited by a mysterious entity that sang every night. The story, told on the podcast ‘Pronóstico Reservado’ , details how one of the tourists began to experience strange events in the apartment they rented. “My friend said he couldn’t sleep because…

This is Pete Yorn in a screenshot I took of him yesterday at the end of a livestream concert he’d just performed. I bought a ticket for this show, paying more money than the minimum charge because a portion of the funds collected are being donated to Covid19 relief. I also bought a t-shirt designed especially for this event. I’ll probably get it in a couple of weeks. Pete performed an acoustic version of his breakthrough hit album, Musicforthemorningafter, which was released in 2001. During the pandemic lockdown, Pete has played seventeen live shows on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook. I’ve watched all of them. On some days, they’ve been the only thing that got me through the murk. So how did I wind up with Pete? I’ll tell the story which is one of those serendipitous little deals that subtly shift the trajectory of a life.
In 2001, I’d never heard of Pete Yorn. He was a 27 year old musician trying to crack his way into the big time recording world. I was coming up on my 50th birthday. I’d been living with Michael since 1972. We were going to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary that May. The previous year we’d made a huge transition in our lives. Michael had decided to leave Record Service, the music business that had been the center of his daily life for 27 years. With the advent of free music downloads from the internet and big box stores selling CD’s for less than the cost of purchasing them from the record labels, the writing was on the wall. The day of the small independent music stores was coming to an end. Michael’s degree in political science wasn’t much use for a practical job. He was 51 years old. So he’d decided to return to college, pick up 30 undergraduate hours of education classes and acquire a teaching degree as a secondary school history teacher. Eventually that move turned into his also adding a master’s degree in US History.
We told our kids about the new plans on our annual holiday trip to Starved Rock State Park. Our daughter was a sophomore in college and our son was in eighth grade. They stared at us, stunned, across the dinner table. A parental job change is a big deal. They loved their cool rock and roll dad who knew everything about music and got great tickets to concerts and sports events through the major record labels. Going back to college when you’re an old guy? That was a challenge for them. We laughed out loud when our son asked, “are you sure you’re not going to become one of those dads who lays around on the couch all day, drinking beer and watching game shows?” We did our best to reassure them although we too were uncertain about how all this would work out. Michael got his substitute teacher’s certificate and took on as many jobs as he could, teaching everything from kindergarten, to special education to the occasional high school history class. He went to school a few nights a week, studying and writing during the days he wasn’t subbing. Student teaching would be coming up in the fall of 2001, followed by the daunting search for a real teaching position. I was the primary breadwinner, holding things together as we all made our adjustments together.
Our daughter was a college athlete, playing volleyball for her university in an athletic conference that had other colleges within driving distance of our home. We spent time on the road going to watch her play. Our son was an athlete, too, so his games occupied us as well, Michael attending as many as he could given his demanding schedule. Spring was a busy time for all of us. Our wedding anniversary was on May 1st. Given the fact that we were living on a modest single income, good sense dictated that we probably should minimize our celebration. But me being me, always with an eye toward the future, pointed out to Michael that we only got one 25th wedding anniversary. Ever convincing, I melted his resolve and off we went on a Caribbean cruise. We sailed on the Norway, a ship that looked romantically like the Titanic, although without the threat of icebergs. It was referred to as the last great ocean liner.
We sailed to the Bahamas where we swam with stingrays at Stingray City, to Roatan for snorkeling and diving off beaches covered with iguanas, and finally to Cozumel where we spent time in a magical water park alive with beautiful fish, birds and exotic sea creatures.
We wound up at the ruins in Tulum, Mexico, where we wandered about, marveling at the incredible turquoise water and the remnants of the fort walls, intended to be impregnable but easily violated by conquistadors whose horses easily vaulted the barriers. While there, we had our wedding date preserved like a Mayan calendar page.
We had a wonderful trip. On our actual anniversary we ate at a small intimate bistro where Michael, proving himself as fiscally risque as me, slid a box across our table right before dessert with an amethyst ring inside. I remember my shock and my tears. So romantic.
May was a busy time. We returned from our trip and celebrated my 50th birthday. A friend had my yard decorated with 50 flamingoes in honor of the event.
A couple of weeks later, we were off on another adventure. Our son had qualified for the National Spelling Bee for the second year in a row. The local newspaper sponsored the bees leading up to the national one, and paid for that trip. We were joined by our daughter who flew in to Washington, DC because this year was the last for which our son was eligible. We stayed in a beautiful hotel downtown where we were feted in style.
In addition to the spelling there were barbecues, trips to surrounding historic sites and general great fun. Our son wound up in third place, getting his first paycheck at age fourteen. What a glorious time.
Summer came and zoomed by. Michael was still in school and the kids were busy with their activities. Our daughter returned to college in the fall, our son was a high school freshman and Michael was doing his student teaching. In October, our aged dog Sydney, had to be euthanized. We were all heartbroken.
We celebrated Thanksgiving and then winter was upon us. We were going back to Starved Rock after a very full 2001. Pete who?
Fast forward. The year is now 2017. Michael died on May 28th after his five year cancer journey. My son, now a biology postdoc, transferred all Michael’s iTunes files to an external hard drive for safekeeping for me before he returned to his field work in Guam. I was alone in my house. Recovering from the massive fatigue of being Michael’s caregiver, I set myself to the task of planning the large exhibit of Michael’s life which would be held in December of that year. He’d become a well-loved teacher in his unfortunately shortened career and I felt that an event near Christmas would allow former students home from college to attend. This would be a big public gathering. While I worked, I decided I would listen to the 2507 songs on my external hard drive. Michael and I were music lovers our whole lives. When he left the Record Service, he was slightly out of touch with current music but after starting teaching, he quickly developed a class which combined modern American history with film and music. He encouraged his students to share their favorite songs with him and continually added new tunes to his personal library. Although we listened to that library a lot, the music was on shuffle which meant there could be hundreds of songs I’d never hear. I wanted to listen to every single song, our old favorites and the ones he’d picked up during his teaching career. Some were great and others I could’ve done without. One afternoon, I heard Pete Yorn’s Life on a Chain for the first time. I was instantly hooked. One of my habits is that when I like something, I have to consume it. That first day, I probably listened to that song 50 times. Then I listened to the album it came from, Musicforthemorningafter, the big breakthrough for Pete in 2001. I ordered a CD and kept it in my car where I played it every day. I also loaded it onto my phone. There was one track in particular, June, which made me cry the second I heard it. I know this sounds weird but the melody sounded like the inside of Michael’s soul to me. Hard to explain-it’s just how it was.
Eventually, I started listening to more of Pete’s music. I read his biographical information and learned about his family. I started to like him. He said great things about his parents and brothers. I found him attractive. He took awhile before marrying and having a baby. He is unabashedly adoring of his little girl. He talks freely about emotions. I was hooked. I started following him on Instagram so I could keep up with his career. Last year he was performing at the Pageant Theater in St. Louis. My son went to college in that city. He was back from Guam and graciously attended the concert with me. We had great seats and I was elated.
For me, Pete was a gift that Michael left me, like so many other things that I’ve stumbled on since his death. Michael always told me I was the most loyal person he knew. That loyalty extends to those people who I’ll never really know, but feel I do because I’m just strange, I guess. Pete is the musical version of my beloved Roger Federer.
When the pandemic hit, Pete began showing up on Instagram to perform live shows from some house in the California desert where he was sheltering with his wife and daughter. He had one acoustic guitar and a piano from his childhood. I can’t tell you how I loved watching him sit right in front of my face for these concerts which he played because he needed to for himself and to help all the shut ins out in the ether. He’d wait for a few hundred people to show up on his feed and then play, tell stories and chat. When it became clear that the pandemic wasn’t going anywhere, he partnered with groups to raise money for Covid19 relief, food pantries and the like. As I noted earlier, he performed 17 times. I missed him when he disappeared for awhile. Then all of a sudden, he announced last Saturday’s concert, a live acoustic stream of the entire Musicforthemorningafter album. Tickets were $15 and up, with each level getting a different perk and again, funds being donated to Covid19 relief. Unique t-shirts and a face mask with the words “Strange Condition,” one of Pete’s song titles emblazoned across the front. I so looked forward to this show and it was everything I dreamed it would be. Personal, empathetic Pete and great music. Nothing fancy, just him. One of the best hour and a halves I’ve ever spent. And I’ve been to more concerts than you can possibly imagine.
When the show was over, Pete asked people to let him know how they felt about it. Lots of people sent him screenshots with decorative, appreciative emojis. I wrote him a note, which is more like me. He took a second to answer me.
Yup. Me and Pete. Who’d have known. I’ll be his loyal fan until I disappear. Life is full of surprises. Look him up. Have a listen. I hope you like him too.
Me and Pete This is Pete Yorn in a screenshot I took of him yesterday at the end of a livestream concert he’d just performed.

What is Freediving? Highlights From Roatan’s Caribbean Cup
For those who love the water, a wide variety of water based activities and sports are available to them. From practical activities, such as fishing and treasure hunting, to the competitive, such as boat racing and synchronized swimming or just enjoying the water for its own sake, a life around the water can be filled with an array of specialized endeavors. One water activity that has begun to play an important role in Roatan is freediving. What is freediving? Highlights from Roatan’s Caribbean Cup can shine a light on this relatively new competitive sport.
Freediving Origins
Freediving probably originated because of necessity. People living near large bodies of water could access new sources of food and other resources if they were able to hold their breath and dive down to the bottom. Those who were able to stay underwater longer were able to harvest more and be better providers for their families.
Competitive Freediving
People have probably been competing at freediving ever since the practice began. But records started being kept in the 1960s by the US Navy. Navy scientists were interested in how long people could hold their breath and survive at extreme depths in order to help submarine sailors. Once records were kept there were always people looking to beat them.
The Caribbean Cup Roatan Freediving Competition
The Caribbean Cup Roatan Freediving Competition is an annual competition that began in 2013. Organized by the Roatan Freediving School & Training Center, the contest is sanctioned by the CMAS (Confédération Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques,) and AIDA International (Association Internationale pour le Développement de l'Apnée.)
Caribbean Cup 2019 Events
Four events were featured at the 2019 Caribbean Cup: CWT (Constant Weight With Monofins,) CWB (Constant Weight With Bifins,) CNF (Constant Weight With No Fins,) and FIM (Free Immersion.)
Caribbean Cup 2019 World Records
Four world records were set at this year’s Caribbean Cup. Alessia Zecchini of Italy broke two different world records. She achieved a depth of 73 meters in CNF and a depth of 112 meters in CWT.
Ukraine’s Nataliia Zharkova achieved a depth of 91 meters in CWB to break the old record of 89 meters which was set in 2018.
In the men’s division, Russian Alexey Molchanov, reached a depth of 110 meters in the CWB event.
