LA PAZ, MEXICO
We had a gorgegous day to explore the resort town of Las Paz, Mexico. It was nice to see other tourist walking around and not just other Ship people. The architecture was interesting, a significant amount of old, renovated and new mixed together. The streets were clean and tree lined and there was some interesting shops and restaurants. Shockingly, there was a large SEARS store and it was high end merchandise.

We also found some Fun mural arts lining the city streets and a lot of sculptures lining the Malecon.
We wandered into some of the shops, had a late yummy lunch & drinks up on a rooftop over looking the beach and enjoyed the day!
I really enjoyed my first trip to Thailand! On our final morning here we went to try breakfast at this spot, down the road, we had been hearing rave reviews on, King Of Bread . The hype was correct, the breakfast was delicious and they had some unique choices. I had eggs benedict on a croissant, in lieu of the standard english muffin and Bosco had it on Milk Bread, which was equally tasty.
We love having authentic experiences with locals to really get a chance to see how they live and thrive in the Ports we visit. So when I found a cooking class, by a local woman offered in her home, we were excited to book. Um ( our teacher) picked us and brought us back to our hotel along with the family of 4 from Sydney, Australia, that had also signed up for this afternoon class. Um's house, which has a lovely open air kitchen, garden and dining area, was about a 30 minute drive and turned out to be on the beach, right next to the Grandparent Rocks.
The nightlife scene doesn't really get going till after 11pm and goes till 5 am in the Chaweng section of Koh Samui . We made our way over to the club district, and one of the hot spots called the ArkBar a little past 10pm to have some dinner, while watching the beach fire shows.
