30 Days of November - "A Souvenier from a Vacation" and
Day 25 of My Personal 30 Days in Manual Mode Challenge!

When Doug and I married, we didn't have enough money for a
wedding trip. Our first real vacation was 3 years later with
a trip to Acapulco, Mexico. We both enjoyed watching the pelicans
dive into the Pacific Ocean for their dinner and bought this glass
figurine as a remembrance of them and a wonderful trip. It's neither
fancy nor valuable but we still love it more than 25 years later.

So cute! and goes to prove the old rhyme is right.

Oh, a wondrous bird is the pelican!
His bill holds more than his belican.
He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week.
But I’m darned if I know how the helican.
