Day 3 - Ensenada

We docked in Ensenada about 8am this morning and it seemed like no one was in a big hurry to disembark.  The Commodore and I went up for a quick breakfast and then he took off for the gym and I went down to the International Café for a “real” cup of coffee! 

We left the ship about 11 and walked into and all around the downtown area.  There isn’t too much “there” there!!  There was junk being sold on the streets and lots of beggars on the corners and it was very sad to see.  We did have a small mission which was to find some make-up remover for me.  Sounds weird but I use Neutrogena wipes to take off my makeup and the last time I was at Costco I thought I would save $2 and by the Kirkland brand…HA!  I woke up this morning looking like Rocky!!  I am allergic to the “off” brand! So we managed to put over five miles on the pedometer without any luck but as we were walking through the little market set up next to the ship….VOILA!  Just what I was looking for!  Cost me $8 for a $3 item…..so much for saving at Costco!  I’m not as bright as I look!!  :/

The rest of the afternoon was spent reading and dozing in the sun!  I was, of course, ambushed by a nice nap!

This evening we met with our friends and neighbors for a lovely cocktail party and dinner to celebrate Barbara and Joe’s anniversary!  There was a cocktail hour in the Wheelhouse Lounge and then we all went to Sabatini’s for a riotous dinner where the waiter sang to us and fussed over Joe!  It was very funny to all of us but I think poor Joe had quite enough of his new “boyfriend”!! 

I didn’t make any of the trivia’s today so will look for an opportunity tomorrow.  We are in LA and have to get off the ship to go through customs and then when all passengers have cleared off then they’ll let us board again.  Fortunately, our deck is one of the last to leave so our wait should be shorter than most others.  We really don’t have any plans for tomorrow so it well end up being another “sea” day!

Just for the record, I still haven’t  been on an elevator!  Today was a big climb from the 4th deck where we embarked after Ensenada to the 11th where our cabin is!  Right knee is annoyed!!

All for now, it’s past 11 and I turn into a pumpkin soon.

  1. Yikes about the wipes! Return them to Costco so that they know! Glad that the rest of your trip is going well. Visited Dave Block today. Maybe another week....
