Cowbright: Hola from Acapulco!

Hola is ok, but Howdy sounds so much better!

Well, did I ever predict wrong. There was never anything announced about skipping a Mexican port. People went on excursions as planned and others got off the ship and did their own thing. A couple we're friends with went to La Quebrada, the famous cliffs that people dive from. Had I known they were going there, I would have voted to go with them.

But I was very happy for Ronnie because he was actually able to run on land this morning! That is his one negative on cruising - he really misses his morning runs. Yes, he tries to run on the ship but it's not the same. Also I've had a weird headache today, so it was probably best I laid low anyway.

I snapped a few photos from our balcony and Ronnie took a few for me on the beach. The ship serves the cuisine of the area we're traveling in, so tonight it was their best attempt at Mexican food. It was good, but it still can't beat our Tex Mex! After dinner we walked out on the deck to see the moon (later learned that the blood moon won't be appearing until around 2:30 a.m. so we'll have to miss this one). But it was still a treat because it was soo gorgeous - a big yellow ball hanging in the sky surrounded by passing clouds.

who are these guys?

These two guys anchored their boat maybe 600 or so feet away from our ship and stayed there almost the entire day. They were not fishing, but we finally decided they might be some type of military police. Perhaps they were looking out for us? I'm sure our ship security folks knew what they were there for.
