The Cruise

Juan and I on the ship, waiting for our drinks. We kept it fancy and ordered non-alcoholic special drinks. Love the pina colada.

Escargot!!! That means snail. I ordered it because I could and I wanted to be able to say we tried it. It was seasoned with garlic and butter and the texture wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. There were 6 snails, and I definitely shared with the rest of the table.

This was formal night. We got all dressed up and went to dinner. We sat at a table each night with 3 other people. A way nice couple who are college students in California, and a woman who was supposed to be with her daughter, but her daughter met someone on the ship and ditched her!

Far away shot, my eyes are possibly closed.

Ensenada, Mexico. It is a huge tourist city, so everyone spoke english and we didn't have to exchange our money for pesos. It was beautiful. Look at all those houses in the hills.

Juan chillin in our bite-sized room. It was so tiny. The bathroom was like an airplane bathroom. The tv was tiny up in the corner. Ha ha, good times.

Juan and his hat in Mexico. We'd walk into each shop, and they'd be so excited that Juan might speak spanish, and then he doesn't so he would let them down. He needs to honor his heritage! We will both become fluent in spanish one day, that is my goal.

Me in Mexico. It looks like I was so cold. It was around 65 degrees, so not very cold at all! I guess I am just used to being bundled up because of the never-ending snow in Utah.

The menu each night was very fancy with high end food and dishes. This particular item, Juan thought he was ordering a green salad with tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. Instead he got this. Needless to say, he wasn't happy, but we had a good laugh.

The trip was overall so much fun and Juan and I didn't even get sick of each other. It happens sometimes. Ha ha, so now we're back to reality and back to the snow! We drove home on Monday and hit 2 snow storms on the way, how depressing.

Nice posts, Cami! It looks like we went on the exact same cruise ship or something- CRAZY! The dining and that closet of a room were totally the exact same as ours! Royal Caribbean to Ensenada, baby! Although we went back in the day, so when you went the boat was more used... :) Too fun!
