Ensenada, Mexico
This was probably the most annoying time to be in the very front of the ship because you could hear them dock us starting at like 6 am. I just wanted to sleep & Kelly wanted to watch them go and dock, I stayed in bed while he went and watched them dock.
We had breakfast in the Dining room this time, it was yummy! I had some hot chocolate, a stack of pancakes once again.
I got ready for the day and we headed off the ship where we had our picture taken by the cruise. So I know you aren't suppose to take pictures of the pictures they take but.. I did..oops.
I love how some of these turned out!
Especially the parrot one it was so fun to have a parrot on your arm for the half a second they let him on you.
Plus aren't we just so darn cute getting off the ship..
We got on to a bus that took us to Downtown to go shopping. We were told that this part of town they don't barter and that if we wanted we could pay $15 to go to a place that would.. okay, last time I checked Mexico never ever kept to any of their prices, nor do they even have prices written on anything. That was a good joke made by a Mexican tour guide!
We were also asked not to buy anything from the kids that walk around trying to sell things because they want to encourage them to go to school. I guess my question is why don't they have a law or ask them to go to school instead of us American's ignoring them. I understand that by buying things it doesn't help the situation but most people aren't going to probably be educated without follow up from someone.
Any ways, we kind of had a list of things to get and things people had wanted us to get! I was very shocked at how clean the streets were compared to when we went to Cozumel for our honeymoon. Although, I really don't love the fact that they come up and beg for you to buy things.
We stopped in a few stores & laughed at some of the crazy tourist things they have. Its almost sad how corrupt of a society we live in and the things that suddenly are okay to use as a marketing tool. We did however come across some really cool blankets in a few stores. Moss wanted to get some for their cabin and he was trying to talk different people down on price. We finally found a lady who would do $10 instead of $12. We ended up walking out with 10 blankets between the 6 of us. We only got one. It may or may not have been because it was Hot Pink & adorable.
As we were walking out of one store our friends pointed out to me these minions that were next to the building.. I screamed.. not just a tiny scream. Enough that the owner of the store came outside and thought that there was a spider. Nope it was just a minion.
I loved them. We talked him down on price but being the Americans that we are, you walk away & go back later and see if they will go down more! I am not someone who gets a big kick out of this but Kelly & Moss definitely are pros at chewing people down on price.
Before we went back onto the ship & everyone had got the things they wanted Kelly let me go back and get one minion! I was a little elated..
Now, you may be thinking what the crap is a 21 years old girl do with a Minion?
Answer: I have no clue but I love it & it's mine. I now officially own a Minion! How cool is that!
We ate lunch on the ship & played in the small little gym. We hung out and talked to Janae & Moss a lot since Carli & Dan had their afternoon nap scheduled.
I really got to learn so much about our friends and things that I don't think I would have ever known.
Dinner was once again amazing.
There was Mango cold soup. Did the waiter bring me out a ton? Yes. Did I get sick? yes!
Did I totally rock at doing the Gangnam dance with the waiters? Of course!
Was it worth eating that much soup? No!
I will be honest I like cruise food, but when it comes to dinner I get a little hesitant because I am not a big fish eating, meat eating person. But I luckily can find something that satisfy's me. Kelly always gets the Didja plate. Which is normally something off the wall weird like; sushi, escargrow, frog legs etc.
He got alligator legs and loved them. He made me try a piece, it wasn't bad in fact it tasted like chicken, although I have to say I couldn't keep eating it because I just was thinking about a alligator starting at me.
I ended up getting sick & going to bed early that night. Kelly came and cuddled me. He didn't go to the marriage/love show. Which I know he wanted to & so did I. I was glad he came and took care of me even when I was passed out asleep!
It was kind of refreshing getting a few extra hours of shut eye.
