A sign on the Queen Mary
Mike sailing his ship
The Queen Mary was right next to our cruise ship. In fact, we did early check in on the Queen Mary and had time to attend a church service on board that morning before setting sail.
We flew right over our house. We could even pin point our neighborhood. It's just behind the clouds on this picture though.

We set sail on mother's day. I started to "collect" (some might say steal) flowers for my bouquet.

Off of the baja coast we saw some jumping fish
Two days into our cruise it was finally warm enough to lay outside in the sun

The monkey grabbed my hand outside of the cage. It was amazing that he had little baby fingers complete with fingernails.
Before we could go in the monkey cage, we had to hold the snake.

Mike going through the jungle

We had a chance to play with monkeys in Puerto Vallarta. This monkey liked to bite.
He also liked to jump and eat spider heads. He wasn't my favorite.
These little guys were so sweet but they really only wanted the food out of the little bamboo tube. Well, that and Mike's chapstick. They stole it right out of his pocket and tried their darndest to get it open.

He liked his head rubbed

We definitly got to see a more real part of Mexico. This is part of the fishermans village in Mazatlan
Fish anyone?

Notice the Mexican band in the background

This little girl was 2 and carried this puppy around like her little baby doll.
My spanish is good enough to communicate with these 2 and 5 year olds! The 5 year old and I hit it off pretty well. I convinced him to catch a chicken for me. He finally caught one right before we left.
These are the two kids of the people who run the horseback riding business. We met at their house before getting on our horses.

Mazatlan is definitly a fishing village

We had a chance to run the horses on the beach. Stone Island is a beach that is only allowed to have natives own land so it is very rural. There were very few buildings on the island so most of the scenery consisted of palm tree forests and sandy beaches.

We took a water taxi over from the mainland and went to the house of the horse owners. This is their kitchen.

The pool we crashed in Cabo also had these floats in the pool. Talk about relaxing!
Dino towel, or if you look at it from the tail side, it looks like a dog bum.

My windy Marilyn Monroe impression. We had a room with a balcony but most of the time it was too windy and cold to use it.
