Catching Up - Part Deux

Tuesday we lazed around the Villa, had lunch from Carl's, Jr., then at 5:45pm took a taxi van to the marina. We took a very bumpy one hour boat ride across the bay. The crew told us about a show they were doing for the passengers on the return ride. When we arrived at our destination, we trekked from the pier up a mountain to an amphitheatre where we watched a show called Rhythms of the Night, which was a nightly show similar to Cirque du Solei.

After the show we walked back down to a buffet meal set up for us along the beach and then waited for our boat ride home. On the way home the crew put on their show on the bow of the ship, a review of Village People, Michael Jackson,  and Magic Mike. Needless to say, it was an enjoyable trip back to port. Another van ride back to the hotel had us arriving at 1am.

Wednesday we went downtown for brunch at Freddie's Tucan, a restaurant in the romantic (read gay) part of town, did some shopping at the street-side vendors, and walked along the beach. When we were tired, another van ride took us to Sonora Grill Prime, a fancy steak house in town. Most cuts of meat start at 1 kilo (2.2 pounds). Naturally we all shared our plates.

Tonight we went to a flea market at the marina.

 The booths were set up all alongside the water. We purchased a new wind spinner as the ones we have are rusted from so much use. Afterwards we saw the Ballét Folklórico,a group of young kids doing traditional Mexican dances. They have been all over the world, including China.

Bien viaje to Richard and Joanne who start their first retirement voyage tomorrow, traveling the east coast all the way to Key West. Safe journey!
