Page 17 Friday 8/18/2023 - Beating Hillary Again!
We received notice yesterday that we'll be arriving in Ensenada later than expected on Friday and will only be staying for four hours. No one will be getting off the ship during this time. We'll be setting sail for Los Angeles at 10:00 pm that night to avoid any potential weather from Hurricane Hillary.
Honestly, it doesn't bother me too much to bypass Ensenada as we have never lost anything in Mexico anyway!
Who? Us?
We went to Da Vinci for breakfast as their Latte machine makes good stuff!
Love the designs in the foam!
Orange juice and coffee, a morning requirement
The sea was very calm!
No storm in sight!
After breakfast we went to the 18th floor aft and into the lounge to read!
Mary texted some folks and answered some emails
Late in the day we could see Mexico, our target for later one!
We got a text from Dianne who had visit our house to go picking!
Dianne came over to do some pickin'; she done good!
Look carefully and you will see birds as we are close to land!
Using some photo filtering, they are easier to see here!
Entering Ensenada Harbor
You could smell this puppy!
The Maitre D' likes us and saved us the best table in the house!
The bread was amazing, it was gone in a matter of seconds!
The ribs were absolutely amazing!
Mary tried the Sambucca
Did You Know? - Sambuca (Italian pronunciation: [samˈbuːka]) is an Italian anise-flavoured, usually colourless, liqueur. Its most common variety is often referred to as white sambuca to differentiate it from other varieties that are deep blue (black sambuca) or bright red (red sambuca). Like other anise-flavoured liqueurs, the ouzo effect is sometimes observed when combined with water.
Ingredients: Sambuca is flavoured with essential oils obtained from star anise, or less commonly, green anise. Other spices such as elderflower, liquorice and others may be included but are not required as per the legal definition. It is bottled at a minimum of 38% alcohol by volume. The oils are added to pure alcohol, a concentrated solution of sugar, and other flavourings.
She forgave me!
She got Mexican Coffee to kill the Sambucca taste!
It's OK to have dessert first, we are old!
We were ready to dance!!
Mary shows them some serious Electric Slide!
...and how to line dance!
Go Girl!
Good bye Ensenada!
Like a jewel box!
We did the promenade deck!
Love my vest!
We had some other visitors!
As we sat, the city floated by!
The Navigator of the Seas as in port!
It is a pretty ship but smaller than ours by about 50%
Pulling out!
See you in LA!
Leaving the harbor
The Harbor Pilot pulls away!
