With a Cherry (and Mr. Hunter) on Top

You know how people sometimes say, "That's just the cherry on top" to talk about something great that happens that's a bonus to the good things that have already happened?  Here's Mr. Hunter adding even more of a bonus to this super-sized sundae outside of Ben & Jerry's at the Marina Village.

This bench was quite a people magnet.  Most days we walked by, the bench would be too crowded with ice cream eaters and other tourists posing with the sundae.  But one morning we happened by much earlier in the day on our way to the ferry, so Mr. Hunter finally had his chance.

On the Shelves with Souvenirs

Mr. Hunter feels a special connection with souvenirs.  Souvenirs are his people, after all... as we were very soon to find out.

Well, some souvenirs are perhaps more kindred than others...

Mr. Hunter and I much preferred these carved wooden sharks.

Bird Friends at Atlantis

One morning at Atlantis, Mr. Hunter noticed a couple of laughing gulls who were hanging out on our balcony.  They were probably just hoping for a quick snack, but they charmed us nonetheless.

Mr. Hunter Shops for Stuffies

Mr. Hunter found an especially soft and welcoming crew when he shopped at the big Atlantis Logo Store at Marina Village.  Nominee for the cutest of all stuffies for sale: these camouflage sea lions.

Teeth.

Green and orange clownfish.

A more classic style of stuffed animal.

Time for a bit of snorkeling...

Partying with some pink camouflage sea lions.

Mr. Hunter found Nemo... and Nemo's twin.

These stuffed spotted rays were difficult to photograph but also quite charming.

Where in the World Is Mr. Hunter? The answer (Rope Bridge edition)

Where was Mr. Hunter when he encountered this rope bridge?

He was exploring the grounds while he vacationed at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas, home to water slides, a lively lazy river, expensive restaurants, heat, humidity... and a little something else that shall be revealed later on Mr. Hunter's blog.

Those are the famed Royal Towers in the background,
and a lagoon filled with rays in the foreground.

More to come on Mr. Hunter's visit to the Bahamas!
