Heading Home

We walked from the cruise ship terminal to the train station in San Diego.  I returned home by train and then the bus again.

A Cruise Dinner

 Salmon Dinner

We enjoyed the good meals that were served to us throughout the cruise, especially since there was no cooking, dish washing, or grocery shopping involved on our part.  Just make a selection and it was brought to you.

Dawn, Barbara, and myself at dinner.

The pleasant ladies, a mom and her two daughters, whom we shared a table with each evening.

Ensanada, Mexico

Items for sale in a shop.  They are really in to skeletons from celebrating "Day of the Dead"

This shop had quite a variety of colorful items.  Most of the shops offered silver jewelry, leather goods, pottery, blankets, and all the typical Mexican junk.
