Day 3, 9/21/11 Cabo

What a great day. It began for me with a workout with free weights. At 7:30 by Pat and I attended the Stretch class.
After that we had breakfast at a special "healthy" buffet with great choices - including Swiss muesli. Yum, yum.
At 9:00 I went to a "bootcamp" experience which was said to burn 700 calories in 30 minutes. Well, I doubt that, but I do know that it was a good workout for me! Meanwhile, Pat went to a Trivia game.

After lunch we docked in Cabo.

The temperature was 95 degrees. I had an amazing experience snorkeling in both Santa Maria bay and again in Chileno bay - in wonderful warm water! The trip to the bays in a zodiac was a wild bumpy ride about 20 minutes from the marina. The expedition guide was great, providing us with the snorkel, fins, life jackets and instructions. Once in the water the guide threw out food for the fish and we were surrounded by the most beautiful scene of swarms of fish. We practically bumped into them I took photos with a one-time use underwater camera and hope they come out. The sand on the beach was too hot to walk on, but swimming and snorkeling felt wonderful!

Pat went on a different excursion - a unique semi-submarine that enabled her to see many of the same fish that I saw but from the comfort of a dry vessel.

A bonus for my trip was meeting a couple from Boise and meeting my "buddy," Dani, who is a lovely young woman from Ireland who was also on the excursion alone (long story).

After the snorkeling expedition, Dani and I wandered around the Mexican arts and crafts bazaar at the marina.
When she had to go back to the ship, I went to Soloman's Landing, where John and I have frequently eaten. I got to pick up the Gringo Gazette and catch up on the news - in preparation for John and me going to Cabo next February.

Alas, I had to leave beautiful sunny Cabo to get on the ship before it set sail Puerto Vallarta. I can't wait to return!

On board we enjoyed dinner with two other couples and great evening with comedian and magician Nick Lessar. I don't know when I've laughed so hard-and it's so good for you!

P.S. The Internet is finicky. Sorry the photos did not go through yesterday. I'll try again,
