John and I took Brooklynn on a cruise to the Mexican Riviera and had the happiest time!
Our first port was Cabo St. Lucas where we went in a glass-bottom boat and saw colorful fish and amazing beaches. We snorkled at Pelican beach. I'm sorry you all missed the embarring scenes here...me trying to climb back into the small tour boat and all of us hiding behind a towel while we changed into our swimming suits on the beach! (We didn't know if we were going to get to snorkel so we had just brought our suits along.) Our ship (in the background) was incredible!

Our second port was Matzalan. This is the meat market! It stunk to high heaven! All the meat is in the open air, in 85% humidity and high 80 temperatures. I would definitely have to be vegetarian if I lived there!
We ate in the dining room each evening with another two women that we were assigned to eat with. We enjoyed getting to know them. Brooklynn was so brave. She tried snails (and liked them!) duck, brussel sprouts...
Our third and final port was Puerta Viarta (Sp?). Brooklynn had her heart set on doing an extreme adventure so we all got in the back of an open, old army truck and went to the mountains where we rappeled, climbed ladders and crossed steep, skinny bridges, and zipped 9 times from tree top to tree top. I felt sorry for our guides who had to babysit me so I didn't kill myself! But John and I were thrilled that we got through the entire course. (Remember the humidity! It played a huge part in me almost passing out! Fun times!)
There was an ice skating rink aboard so Brooklynn skated twice and climbed the rock wall twice, which was huge! We worked out at the gym, went swimming in the salt water pools, watched fabulous entertainment and feel very blessed for the experience of it all!

Sheesh! That looks awesome! I am so jealous! Way to go, Brooklyn, for being so daring. (I think it is spelled Vallarta.)
Andi's face looks flawless in the picture. You guys look like you had a lot of fun (especially in the picture with the helmets).

Another little granddaughter for you! That cruise looks like so much fun, but that pig looks sick! Wonder if I could get up that rock wall? hahahaha not likely!
One more thing do people really eat pig head? Man that's gross!
