Somewhere Off the Coast of Guatemala






Well, I have some catching up to do. We have been to Cabo, Acapulco and yesterday Huatulco. Cabo is not much........ but we did sail right past the famous arch that everyone takes pics of. Acapulco was pretty fascinating, and we walked quite a bit, saw the Cliff divers, saw the Old Town, took a bus to Starbucks (of course), and saw the newer resort area. We enjoyed many sights and sounds of Acapulco. Yesterday we disembarked in Huatulco with the intention of going snorkeling. We found a taxi and headed to the beach the driver recommended, La Entrega Bay. We rented snorkeling equipment and had a fantastic time snorkeling. Another couple told us to head out around the point and go to another beach, so we swam out there and saw many, many colorful fish. We headed back to the ship, but stopped and ate $1 tacos near the marina. It was so good. When we returned to the ship, we found out that Jack and Shirley had eaten at the same taco stand. We went back on the ship and ate lunch, then headed to our room to relax. There was a marimba band on the deck right below our balcony, so it was fun to sit back and relax and listen to the music from our room. Our first cruise we had an inside stateroom. Having a balcony is just fantastic. It is so great sitting out there, doing my Bible study, or just watching the sea. Early this morning dolphins were jumping out of the water, visible from our balcony. I would not want to take another cruise without getting a balcony room.
