Today was the final day of our "mini-cruise" to Mexico. We had a great time, and made the most of every moment. I wanted to stay on the ship and sail up to Alaska...if only I could. There is something about being on a cruise that I find so relaxing. Every time I take a cruise, there are some routines that I follow without fail: like room service at dawn, early morning laps around the ship on the promenade deck, pre-dinner cocktails and a glass of wine after dinner in the lounge. I admit, I am a creature of habit and enjoy familiar routines. It all started when I took the Panama Canal cruise...it was so nice to be served breakfast on the balcony, sitting in my bathrobe watching the waves gently roll by while sipping tea. I'm not too spoiled. I thought I'd lead off with a fun picture of me with some dude wearing one heck of a get-up. He was blowing into a shell of some sort and would break into a wild tribal dance every so often. It was definitely blog-worthy.

La Bufadora (Blowhole) Cove
above: The coastline was quite beautiful...
above: La Bufadora (the blowhole) would shoot water up every 45 seconds or so, with the ebb and flow of the tide. It is one of a few such blowholes in the world where water is forced up so high and with such regularity. It's hard to see from these photos, so I provided a little video for you to enjoy~
above: I took this video of "La Bufadora"to show you what it's like. The voice of the woman is a nice lady named "Jane" I met from the cruise, who ironically lives in the Palm Springs area also. If you read this Jane, I hope to see you when we are back home in the desert. I hope you enjoyed today's photos from the cruise. I'll have a few more on Thursday too.Thanks for stopping by.
