What a trip

I finally decided to go through my pics from Mexico. It was absolutely awesome. I mean I do love the rain and the all the green of the northwest, but it's nice to go get some sun and forget about working for days. I didn't think it would be a highlight, but not having access to my cell phone or internet was like living an alternate life. Our biggest worries were what to see and eat next.


I loved the port In LA. We were next to the coolest bridge.

The dining on the ship was excellent, some people chose to eat hot dogs and hamburgers by the pool but for the same price we always opted to eat 5 course dinners.

I love fresh fruit, it's amazing what you can get on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere.

We were able to see some ruins in Colima, they just discovered them less than 20 years ago and they've only dug up a small percentage of what's there

The best tacos are made on the street, not the restaurants.

I was so excited to find these huge sparklers, it was kinda anti climatic watching them burn, I was hoping for a bigger ball of flame from the unregulated homemade sparkler.

After a day of excursions we would come back to our rooms to find our towels made into all sorts of creatures

Yea! I've been waiting to see if you'd post any pics of the trip. They are great! Some of them look like postcards. Good times, good times.

Looked like a great time. We're not far from Mexico and I've never been! Great pics by the way.
