Ensenada

Waiting for our bus to Pai Pai Ecotourism Park.

Our only whole group photo.

Cappy Berra's!!

Adorable. 

One family paid the upcharge to pet them.

They were told the three were brothers.  We stayed on the outside of the fence and were told the bigger ones were Mom and Dad and their 6 month old son Marsala.  

Omg, dreams.  I've always wanted a hedgie pet.  Heexpectey more pokey than I expected.

Believe it or not this is the first time I've held a guinea pig.  Such a little squish.

Next was La Bufadora. Water geyser.

Always a fun stop.  

Eric took about 20 pictures of Kai with the geyser splash.  His eyes were shut tight in all of them.  

Lunch!

Market fun.  Another fake bag for me.  We started negotiations at $250.  I paid $40.  A woman in a restaurant today told me she liked my bag, that it was very pretty.  So now I feel validated.  Haha.

Jia bought a ring. Negotiations started at $250 and we settled at $40.  Funny it was the same amounts.  Our guide was there confirming it's actually stamped silver.  I'm still doubtful but Jia was determined.  1st ring for Jia so it's been fun either way.

The boys wanted nothing.  They were happy to try Miranda orange pop and eat shrimp and fish tacos.

 

2nd Sea Day

 

When towel critters are next level :)

Lobby bar.  Eric, Ken, Kai and Luk are down there.  

I feel strongly that we've been on this exact ship layout before.  It's not my favorite layout. Our room was super close to the spa but furthest point away from the dining room.  Not a problem because it's a small ship but it took a bit to figure it out.

Ships are busy.  There wasn't a lot of relaxing going on. 

Five of us all in one inside room.  I was prepared for it to go badly.  It didn't.  Honestly, aside from the chaos of unpacking and finding room for everything it was quite ok.  We all have likened it to being in the rv. 

This is 60.

We had a great day in Cabo.  The beach was fun.  Only one cruise ship in port so it was quiet. We did a water taxi to Moderno Beach.  Restaurants, bars and bathrooms right there.  Plus tons of vendors trolling the beach.  I love them.  The rest of the group not so much.  Haha.  It's easy shopping ;)  I got five matched tshirts for our crew.  Eric and Jia were light on short sleeves.  They packed winter clothing.  I didn't supervise ;)

I remembered the nose sunscreen.

The matching Cabo shirts.

Look what my Mommy bought me!  So exciting.  I've wanted one for years.

Shannon's picture.  We had some laughs trying to keep our feet from sinking and getting the water washing over us.

Oh, and apparently Feb 4rth is World Cancer Day.

Sea Day

There was some good relaxing going on.  Eric and Kai even scored a three hour mid day nap!

 

Night time entertainment was great.  Good music, awesome dancing and a drone light show.

The teens on their own.

The teens are even choosing to make their own dining room reservations and eat on their own.  Such Independence.
