The weather has been a little wild and has made the ocean anything but calm. The ship seem s to handle it well but it's for sure moving
Video games in the teen club after breakfast
We decided to venture out to Ensenada. Nic and Kyle came with us but Kim and Ez stayed back. We were dropped off in what seemed like a sketchy neighborhood and Nic and Kyle decided to head back to the boat but Matt and I found a tour for the day and off we went. We didn't realize they only took cash and had to find an ATM to pay for it but it was worth it. There was a bridge in the center of the tour place and all the kids wanted to have their picture taken on. They also were selling souvenirs and some were doing hair braiding.
We drove for about 45 minutes on a small tour bus. The drive was beautiful as most of it was farm land. The tour guide did a great job explaining and telling us all about what we were seeing and its history and future. After the drive we arrived at a flea market of sorts that sat on the edge of a cliff. The views were amazing and the fresh air off the ocean was just as amazing as it sounds. The kids had a budget and we wandered looking for treasures that they would ultimately decide on.
Within the flea market there was a "zoo" of sorts that allowed you to interact and play with the animals. This is Gracie with a baby black panther. During the orientation they warned us that some of the animals were more aggressive than others so only the older kids could do some of the animals for that reason.
Then lemurs were fun as we got to feed them some fresh apples. All the kids loved that
The white tiger was also pretty aggressively playful but I think Matt enjoyed him the most
He tried to eat my ankle so we weren't friends
They had the coolest rickety slide that we all tried of coarse
The beautiful view form the market
The kids had never been somewhere that you have to pay to use the bathroom. What was also terrible about this is there was no running water and no toilet paper. I think we got ripped off but what can you do?
Before we left we grabbed some of the most amazing tacos, churros, and Mexican candy that we wanted to try. We ate so much on our way back to the boat. The churros were the favorite
Liam picked this fire truck that makes sound and has lights
Emy chose this accordion despite both Matt and I telling her it wasn't a good idea. Luckily for all the kids Matt speaks Spanish and was able to get them a good deal on their prizes.
They had this cool sign just outside of the boat so we snagged a picture
And just before we got back on the boat they took all the remainder of our churros and candy....sad day. We ate as much as we could and then thru the rest away
They had a pirate night and we all got some fun accessories to wear. There was lots of music and dancing. Hallie got called up to be a participant. Not sure where the picture of that is
Then off to bed
