Los Cabos and Acapulco


Tuesday found us in Los Cabos, taking a tender (smaller boat) into the marina. Dora and Richard got their internet fix, and we eventually walked all the way around the marina to the beach. We sat under an umbrella drinking beer and listening to a movie trivia contest. We eventually made the long walk back to the boat.

At dinner we met another of our tablemates, John, a retired Methodist minister from Dallas, with an eyepatch, who works with sex addicts.

Wednesday was another sea day, we played Bridge with Bruce and Dora. At dinner we met John's friend Jay, with all ten people around our table.

Thursday we had breakfast with Bruce and Dora, and walked to the San Diego fort in Acapulco. This was a very interesting museum, with bilingual signs, giving the history of the Spanish galleons to the Phillipines. We strolled to the central plaza, visited the church, and had a beer. The plaza was dirty and smelly, a disappointment. Bruce and Dora went back to the ship. Richard and Marianne went on a boat tour of the bay, including a smaller version of the Acapulco cliff divers. Lots of jokes in the narration, with a young captain and younger divers. Richard and Marianne walked back to the boat, and Richard went back out to get a haircut and a shave for $8, as well as take some photos and get some internet time.


As it was close to the feast day of our Lady of Guadalupe, we saw a small parade in her honor.

At dinner, Dora told us Greek and Turkish history, from the perspective of her family, who were expelled by the Turks.
